Obama 1st US President Ever to Become UN Security Council Chairman

Obama-UN-Security-Council-Chairman

Never in the history of the United Nations has a U.S. President taken
the chairmanship of the powerful UN Security Council. Perhaps it is
because of what could arguably be a Constitutional prohibition against
doing so. To wit: Section 9 of the Constitution says… ~ September 12, 2009 – Video

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no
Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without
the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office,
or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Nonetheless, the rotating chairmanship of the council goes to the
U.S. this month. The normal course of business would have U.S.
Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice take the gavel. However, this time will
be different.

Constitution be damned, Barack Hussein Obama has decided
to put HIMSELF in the drivers seat, and will preside over global nuclear
non-proliferation and disarmament talks slated to begin September 24th.
The Financial Times says:

Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between
the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first
American president to chair its 15-member Security Council.

The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24
is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament – one of several
global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a
multinational level.

UN officials also hope a climate change debate on September 22 will
give fresh impetus to the search for a global climate deal at Copenhagen
in December.

There are also hopes a possible meeting between Benjamin
Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian
Authority president, that Mr. Obama would host, could lead to a
breakthrough about a timetable for Middle East peace.

Here is what the UN Security Council does. Picture Obama as the Chair of this committee with this power.

Under the UN Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are:

* to maintain international peace and security in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations

* to investigate any dispute or situation which might lead to international friction

* to recommend methods of adjusting such disputes or the terms of settlement

* to formulate plans for the establishment of a system to regulate armaments

* to determine the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression and to recommend what action should be taken

* to call on Members to apply economic sanctions and other measures not involving the use of force to prevent or stop aggression

* to take military action against an aggressor

* to recommend the admission of new Members

* to exercise the trusteeship functions of the United Nations in “strategic areas”

* to recommend to the General Assembly the appointment of the
Secretary-General and, together with the Assembly, to elect the Judges
of the International Court of Justice.

No American president has ever attempted to acquire the image of King
of the Universe by officiating at a meeting of the UN’s highest body.
Obama apparently believes that being flanked by council-member heads of
state like Col. Moammar Qaddafi – who is expected to be seated five
seats to Obama’s right – will cast a sufficiently blinding spell on
Americans.

He undoubtedly hopes that the horrid state of the nation’s economy,
turmoil over health care, and a summer of racial scapegoating will pale
by comparison. This role as UN Security Council chair will allow him to
make decisions, influence legislation and resolutions, and set the
agenda.
