No offense, but I get really tired of this false assertion. A treaty can be legally ratified with as few as 34 Senators because the Constitution specifies "two thirds of Senators present," not two thirds of the full Senate.

Yes, quite true technically. And if Pigs had wings, hollow bones and carried minimal weight, they just might be able to fly.
However, the odds of only 52 Senators being present to vote on something of the importance of the LOST treaty are EXTREMELY and VANISHINGLY remote. And, to be honest with you, I don’t have a lot of interest in dealing with quibblers. So you have a good night and I hope you recover soon from the tiredness you’re suffering from dealing with false assertions.
