Do you think it would be a good idea for him not to resign if his father is elected?
I don't. An appearance of conflict of interests is not a good thing when it comes to high office. Some people don't seem to understand that.
I've never worked in government, federal or otherwise. How about you?
So who is it in the Obama Admin did you work for again?
You could be right. But having his son as internet troll fodder sure wouldn't help, bad enough as it is. Either way, it won't mollify the Trump base.
Biden couldn't win the Presidency if his life and his sons, why hell his whole dam families lives depended on it.

Are you sure?
It was ratified by the Senate in October 1999.

Latest Senate Action
10/18/2000
Resolution of advice and consent to ratification agreed to in Senate by Division Vote.
In such a case, doesn't the president have to finalize the ratification? Did Clinton do so?
In any case, why the back channel? Shouldn't that sort of thing be handled by the DOJ? Instead of Trumps personal attorney?
Seems Giuliani's involvement would nullify actions under the treaty. It's specified that the authority lies only with the Attorney General or someone authorized by him.
Article 1(4) states explicitly that the Treaty is not intended to create rights in private parties to obtain, suppress, or exclude any evidence, or to impede the execution of a request.

Indeed Giuliani stinks to high hell.
The transcript specifically mentions Guilliani working with the DoJ.

So, Barr had designated Guiliani as the contact, per the treaty. Should be a pretty solid paper trail for that, as well as the written requests required by the treaty.
Easy peasy. Ts crossed, Is dotted.
The House committee might have to rethink things when those documents are presented.
Seems you've glossed over the fact that Trump asking the Ukraine for help in investigating corruption is as per the ratified treaty between the US and Ukraine

Seems you haven't read the treaty.
It does not give the president the power to do so.

Article 13 requires the Requested State to use its best efforts to ascertain the location or identity of persons or items specified in a request.

If it was a descent job when the dad was VicePresident there would not be a problem when the dad is president.
