,mr4 ,paul1 and ,mr4 ,toomey7 submitted 
the following resolution2 which was     
referred to the ,committee on ,foreign  
,relations  ,,resolution  ,expressing   
the sense of the ,senate that the       
,president should submit the ,paris     
,agreement to the ,senate for review and
 consideration4  ,whereas1 in ,august   
#bjaf1 ,president ,obama entered the    
,united ,states into the decision by the
 #bast ,conference of ,parties of the   
,united ,nations ,framework ,convention 
on ,climate ,change in ,paris1 ,france1 
adopted ,december #ab1 #bjae 7referred  
to in this preamble as the ,paris       
,agreement71 without the advice and     
consent of the ,senate as required by   
section #b of article #b of the         

,constitution of the ,united ,states2   
,whereas ,president ,trump announced    
that the ,united ,states would cease all
 implementation of the ,paris ,agreement
 in ,june #bjag1 and formally withdrew  
the ,united ,states from the ,paris     
,agreement in ,november #bjai1 which    
withdrawal became effective in ,november
 #bjbj2 ,whereas1 according to a report1
 by #bjce1 the ,paris ,agreement will   
result in-- 7#a7 an aggregate gross     
domestic product loss of over           
#b1ejj1jjj1jjj1jjj2  7#b7 a #ac to #bj  
percent increase in household           
electricity expenditures2 and  7#c7 the 
loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs2  
,whereas the ,paris ,agreement1 and     
cumbersome regulations associated with  
the ,paris ,agreement1 put the economy  
of the ,united ,states at a competitive 
disadvantage and risk even greater job  
loss and energy rate increases at a time
 when the economy of the ,united ,states
 is already hurting from the ,,covid-#ai
 pandemic2 ,whereas1 in addition to the 

economic costs of the ,paris ,agreement1
 the ,paris ,agreement obligates ,united
 ,states taxpayer dollars towards a     
#ajj1jjj1jjj1jjj fund to assist climate 
change mitigation and adaptation in     
other countries with minimal oversight  
or transparency2 ,whereas1 according to 
a report1 if every signatory of the     
,paris ,agreement fulfills their-- 7#a7 
commitment under the ,paris ,agreement1 
the ,paris ,agreement will have a       
negligible impact on climate change1    
reducing global average temperatures by 
just #j4jhf degrees ,fahrenheit by      
#bajj2 or  7#b7 commitment under the    
,paris ,agreement if the ,paris         
,agreement were extended another #gj    
years1 average global temperatures would
 be reduced by just #j4cjf degrees      
,fahrenheit by #bajj2 ,whereas1 through 
free-market innovation and investments  
in clean1 efficient energy1 the ,united 
,states has seen the largest absolute   
decline in emissions globally while     
emissions from several signatories of   

the ,paris ,agreement continue to       
increase2 ,whereas clause #b of section 
#b of article #b of the ,constitution of
 the ,united ,states provides that the  
,president may only enter into a treaty 
provided two thirds of the ,senators    
present concur2 ,whereas section #gbc4c 
of chapter #aa of the ,foreign ,affairs 
,manual of the ,department of ,state    
provides that1 in determining whether   
any international agreement should be   
brought into force as a treaty or as an 
international agreement other than a    
treaty1 the utmost care is to be        
exercised to avoid any invasion or      
compromise of the constitutional powers 
of the ,senate1 ,congress as a whole1 or
 the ,president2 ,whereas1 given the    
historical precedents1 the potential    
costs and benefits1 and the fact that   
the ,paris ,agreement could in future   
decades result in stronger obligations  
for the ,united ,states than the ,senate
 anticipated when it gave its consent to
 ratifying the ,united ,nations         

,framework ,convention on ,climate      
,change1 done at ,new ,york ,may #i1    
#aiib1 and entered into force ,march    
#ba1 #aiid1 the ,paris ,agreement is a  
treaty2 and ,whereas1 on ,january #bj1  
#bjba1 ,president ,biden announced his  
intent to reenter the ,united ,states   
into the ,paris ,agreement without      
seeking the advice and consent of the   
,senate3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that it
 is the sense of the ,senate that-- 7#a7
 the decision by the #bast ,conference  
of ,parties of the ,united ,nations     
,framework ,convention on ,climate      
,change in ,paris1 ,france1 adopted     
,december #ab1 #bjae 7referred to in    
this resolution as the ,paris           
,agreement71 is considered a treaty     
requiring the advice and consent of the 
,senate2 and  7#b7 ,president ,biden    
should immediately submit the ,paris    
,agreement to the ,senate4
