The Constitution is an inconvenience to him.&#8221; Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton discusses President Obama and the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty. The Obama administration signed the treaty in 2014 and it awaits ratification from the Senate. But as Bolton notes, Obama could make an end-run around Congress and use an executive order to get it signed. &#8220;The real agenda has always been domestic gun control in America.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will a lame duck Obama attempt to ram through the U.N.
