You (and apparently Zonder) are using the term signatory according to the definition under international law, not US law. According to US law, the US is not a party to a treaty unless it has been ratified by Congress. ll.georgetown.edu Until and unless it is ratified by Congress, the signature of the President or his representative has no legally binding effect. Why don't you ask your brother (I assume he's a lawyer) how you can be a party to a contract or a treaty without being legally bound?
