he can’t sign it unless the senate ratifies it with a 2/3rd majority vote. Good luck with that.

The Supreme Court, however, is fine with it.

He can sign the Treaty, but then must submit it to the Senate to ratify.

The fun starts when he tries to enforce it without ratification.

Not quite. With treaties the President acts first, then the Senate. He could sign it as soon as the final form is available. Probably will. Presidents have been known to enforce treaties while they are still un-ratified, as long as the Senate hasn't actually voted them down.

Legally, 51 Senators present form a quorum and only 2/3 of those need to approve. That’s 34 Senators. He’s got that many. All he has to do is figure out how to ensure not enough that oppose it are present.

This is the relevant section... The PRESIDING OFFICER. A division has been requested.
Senators in favor of the ratification of this treaty, please raise their hand. (After a pause.) Those opposed will raise their hands.
With two-thirds of the Senators present having voted in the affirmative, the resolution of ratification is agreed to.
Mr. THOMAS. I thank the Presiding Officer, the Senator from West Virginia, and the clerk.
By the way, just for information, these treaties were all approved by the Foreign Relations Committee on October 4 and 5.

A show of hands without a quorum call and with no recorded vote. Those present voted, not the whole Senate.

Obummer don’t need no stinkin’ Senate to tell him what he can do!!!
