Subject: RE: BS: Kyoto Treaty - Was US Right? -PART TWO
Now, can someone tell me why Clinton did not sent the Kyoto agreement to Congress for ratification? It was completed during his term and he had three months to deal with it.

Congress doesn't ratify treaties. The Senate does.

Could it be because the last 3 months of Clinton's presidency were a political firestorm and he didn't want it to get buried under all the wrangling? That would be my first guess.
