This is the part that bothers me, especially with the current crop of traitors that we have in power, who knows what they'll pull.
It's even worse... You only need 50% + 1 of the elected Senators present to make a quorum. Meaning you can get 51 of the Democrats together, and you have a quorum. Then 2/3rds of them have to agree - 34.
People don't realize that it only takes 34 Senators to ratify a treaty, if they are members of the party in power. The ONLY thing that could stop it would be a filibuster where you delay action in the Senate on anything. But with a filibuster-proof majority, the Democrats can ratify this treaty with just 34 votes.
There are at least 34 completely-safe seats that can vote for this...
Good point.
I was thinking more along the lines that the dems would just lock the doors and shut the Republicans out, then they'd only need 30 votes.
Either way, we have some serious bumps in the road ahead, hold on!
