Constitutional Connection:
Article 2, The Executive Branch,Section 2
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur."

Explanation of Constitution:
    President Obama has just signed the "New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty", this year. Along with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Their new agreement will reduce the number of nuclear weapons kept by the United States and Russia. The Congress has a history of  agreeing to arm control treaties, but their were still high hopes for this bill to be ratified by the Congress, as for most bills.

    This article clearly demonstrates Article 2, The Executive Branch,Section 2 , Clause 1 of the United States Constitution. The president, head of the Executive branch has the power to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.This article demonstrates the President's power to make and sign treaties. Although, the treaty must also be ratified by the Legislative branch (Congress).

   I believe that that this treaty is good idea, in the past there have been issues of trust between countries, because of  the threat of nuclear weapons. While our nuclear weapons threat is being reduced I believe this will create more trust between the U.S. and Russia , while also protecting ourselves if needed.This will give us the upperhand in the future, at solving and discussing issues with Russia and other countries. Without them feeling the need to think two steps ahead and virtually pose a threat to our country.
