See #29. It just does not follow “quorum”

Has no more meaning as the Kyoto that A.Gore signed Senate will not ratify and any competent court would find it unconstitutional (I know the word competent is a big one)

Based on the text from this link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2907317/posts?page=13#13 (copied below):

TREATY EMBROILMENT IS SO DANGEROUS AND SO IMPORTANT, THAT TO FURTHER LIMIT AND RESTRICT THEIR MAKING, ARTICLE II, SECTION 2, PARAGRAPH 2 ORDERS THAT THE PRESIDENT: "...SHALL HAVE POWER, BY AND WITH THE ADVICE AND CONSENT OF THE SENATE, TO MAKE TREATIES, PROVIDED TWO THIRDS OF THE SENATORS PRESENT CONCUR; [EMPHASIS ADDED.]"

It seems as though the 2/3 present statement agrees with my original assertion...

Not that I know for certain that text is authoritative.
