You may be thinking of a pocket veto of a bill, which actually works in the reverse. A president is required to sign or veto a law within 10 days after passage. However, if he doesn’t sign the bill and ten days pass while Congress is not in session to receive it it’s effectively vetoed. No treaty can become law without ratification by a 2/3 majority vote of the Senate. Period.

I think they are using the back door. Remember that reverse bill that allows the Senate to pass treaties with only 33 senators?
Me thinks that we got shafted by both sides.
Wait, next will be global warming bs treaty.
