You are correct about the President not having the power to make treaties...only Congress has the power to do so. Of course the President can make recommendations to Congress. This particular treaty has provisions that are not good for the US and it is the responsibility of duly elected leaders to protect the interests of the US and not of 139 other countries...so they are doing the job that they were elected to do.
