The U.S. Senate still have to ratify any treaty with a 2/3 majority vote.
Zero can negotiate in secret all he wants, but the Senate still has to ratify it, and they won’t ratify what they can’t read.

Well, they did something like that before...but I don’t think they will fall for it again.

You are being naive...”they won’t ratify what they can’t read.” Are you serious?
You seem to have forgotten...”You’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it.”
They don’t have to read squat, to pass anything....

The U.S. Senate still have to ratify any treaty with a 2/3 majority vote. Wrongo! Article 2, section 2, clause 2 specifies that a treaty is ratified "provided two thirds of Senators present concur." That means 34 is the legal minimum for ratification with a bare quorum, but then treaties have been ratified with no record of a quorum or committee vote.
Might I suggest a little light reading on the topic?

Options for ratification:
1) “Deem” it ratified
2) We need to ratify it to see whats in it

Ummm, beg pardon. Obamacare passed without it having been read.
