Treaty ratification requires a 2/3 present vote. This 46 vote is 21 short of the full Senate.

This is a joke. Being a Senator implies full support of ALL of our Founding rights. Any Senator who does not protect and defend ALL of our rights should be and CAN BE arrested for treason. It’s as simple as that!

Treaties require a 2/3 vote of Senators present.

It only takes 51 Senators to have a quorum and therefore get a binding vote. 34 Senators is all it takes to pass a treaty with a minimum quorum, assuming they actually care about a quorum count.

That said, no one would miss a vote on this, when it counted.
