"Obama needs 67 votes to ratify a treaty; he HAS 53. Even adding in the usual RINOs, he won’t make it to 67."

Constitution: Article 2 Section 1: "He 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 is not 67 required. Only 2/3rds present are required to vote for a treaty to ratify it.

That is not 67 required. Only 2/3rds present are required to vote for a treaty to ratify it.

The Constitution also says that someone can be impeached upon a 2/3 vote of the members present.

No one wants to hear that. They don't want to admit that it doesn’t matter what the Constitution says anymore. But, but, but two thirds present means 67, except it doesn’t.

We send armed swat teams to enforce stupid EPA violations, and we haven't marched in the streets yet, and when they come for your neighbor most will say nothing.

Then it’s all hands on deck for the GOP. If they’re gone for a “potty break” during the vote, there will be hell to pay.
