The Constitution provides for the Senate to approve or reject a resolution of ratification ... approval requires a 2/3 majority.

You may want to read this reply of mine to disabuse yourself of that 2/3 notion, tx_eggman.
In case you didn't know, tx_eggman, 2/3 of Senators present can ratify a treaty.

And you're worried about some else's status as a "true conservative" because of a statement?!
A "true conservative" should understand that the House has no input at all in the ratification of treaties.

My failure to include the Senate's quorum rules in my statement about the Senate's Consttutional role in the treaty ratification - and the House of Representative's lack thereof - brings to mind straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Thanks for pointing it out.
