Allow me to repeat myself:

Article 2, section 2, paragraph 2 of The Constitution says, regarding Presidential powers: “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...”

The operative word there is “present.” Joe Biden is President of the Senate. He could call a special session at 3:00 am at which only Feinstein, Boxer, Schumer, and selected other gun-control die-hards would be invited. The treaty would then be approved unanimously and we would be screwed... again.

I’d say they’d be screwed. I have no doubt they will try...

I also have no doubt that sparking off CWII will happen soon after.
