“Just one problem with that. The US Constitution provides that, even if the President has signed a treaty, his signature is meaningless unless the treaty has been debated in the Senate, which must ratify it by the votes of at least 67 of the 100 Senators”.

Not hardly. Another radical UN treaty came out of the ‘92 Earth Summit, The Convention on Biological Diversity. It went to the Senate in ‘93 and was stopped cold when maps of the Wildlands Project were displayed on the floor of the Senate. It was never ratified but was implemented through Executive Order and existing statutory power. Remember Paul Bergala saying “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool huh?”

>>Actually come to think of it we’re both wrong. It’s 2/3’s of the Senators present.<<

So during Christmas vacation call 10 Senator back to DC. Take a vote and 7 say Yea. It passed and is noted in the Congressional Record. Done. No listings as to who the Senators were or any fine details.

Still thinking it’s kinda cool? Voice votes are kinda cool from a coward politicians viewpoint.
