we feel generally that we can ratify it. i'm very confident the european parliament will ratified. will be painfully aware i'm sure that things are much more difficult in the united kingdom. if this deal is voted down. i know what we have heard today, that it cannot be renegotiated, but it may be just a simple fact, given the maths, that you have to go back to the backstop which is causing so many problems, both that the dup yann sommer the eurosceptics within the conservative party. there has to be a backstop. several possibilities were tried. britain in the beginning wanted to have this customs union. this customs union will never be applied in the transition period, and it will be multiplied afterwards, if there is a proper deal. so it's a theoretical point. but as an insurance, ireland need it, and therefore there is nothing that has to be negotiated. it's this deal or no deal. you think the compromise that has been achieved, namely that the transition would be extended, possibly until 2022, that should be reassurance for the mps in london? it makes it very possible that we hav

does this mean that if the united states ratified the treaty and joined the league it automatically had to go to war? the progression occurred. what does this imply for the constitutional requirement that only congress could commit the country to war? the allies were willing to yield on this point but not wilson. and his stubbornness doomed the treaty. wilson would have no changes. his rigid interpretation of presidential powers, despite what he had written earlier, would not allow him to my -- compromise. and together with the senate insistence, he played into the hands of his opponents. the standoff between the two branches of government had important effects. no president after wilson dismissed the role of the senate in making treaties. when harry truman went to the san francisco conference in 1945 , where the charter of the united nations would be signed, he took senators from both parties with him. truman would certainly have fit into wilson's group of presidents, "with unusual sagacity." eight. the growth of presidential power. congress integrated a great deal of power to the pres

the treaty of versailles was never ratified by the united states congress.nited states was never an official signer of the treaty of versailles. as a result, we also did not take part in regards to the league of nations. so the league of nations had no teeth, which was part of the reasons for the breakdown he eventually. breakdown, eventually. the reason that occurred was in large part to woodrow wilson who was an uncompromising individual himself. he did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the versailles peace talks. which greatly irritated politicians and congressmen back home, which wound up leading to the versailles treaty not being ratified by congress. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress that we would need to be a very active member in that peace organization afterwards.
