Ordinary digital meters cannot accurately test the short-duration peak voltages at the high frequencies generated by CDI components. Electronic Specialties, Inc. offers a $39 retail DVA adapter that plugs into a digital multi-meter for checking CDI output voltages.
Treaty Ratification Process. A ratification process also occurs with all foreign treaties entered into by the president of the United States. According to the Constitution, the exclusive right to negotiate foreign treaties is held by the president and his subordinates (such as the Secretary of State).
The Treaty Clause is part of Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, of the United States Constitution, that empowers the President of the United States to propose and chiefly negotiate agreements between the United States and other countries, which, upon receiving the advice and consent of a two-thirds supermajority vote of the United States Senate, become treaties under international law.
