"Conservatives have plans to hinder future presidents from reentering the Paris Agreement if a second Trump administration leaves the global climate accord."
"Allies of former President Donald Trump have a plan to leave the Paris climate agreement and make it much harder for a future Democratic president to rejoin it.
The idea: pull the United States out of the treaty that underpins the Paris deal.
Exiting that accord, the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, could be done unilaterally by the president, proponents argue — though there’s some disagreement on that point. Getting back into the treaty then might end up requiring a two-thirds majority vote in the U.S. Senate, which would be a steep hurdle to overcome."
