“To pass a treaty requires 67 senators.”
Nope. Nowhere does anything require 2/3, or 67 Senators, to ratify a treaty.
Article I. Section 5.
“...and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business;” <- That’s 51 Seneators.
A quorum of the Senate is a majority of Senators: 51.
Article II. Section 2.
“[President] shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;” <- That’s 34 of those 51 Senators required for a quorum.
So where do you think the Senate Republicans will be?
55 D’s to 45 R’s is not a good balance...
Elections have consequenses...Right???
