Getting Rid of Nuclar Weapons

Seen on CNN, Obama to Submit Nuclear Arms Treaty to the Senate, Obama has sent a treaty to the Senate for ratification detailing The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. This treaty cuts the number of nuclear weapons held by the US and Russia by a third, and sets a limit for both countries at 1550 nuclear warheads and 700 delivery vehicles. The Republicans in Congress are hesitant to support this treaty because they are concerned over the effectiveness of the treaty and the country's defenses. This is a current example of Congress's check on the President in foreign policy. The President can negotiate treaties, but Senate must ratify treaties with a 2/3 majority vote.
