They don’t need 2/3. They only need 2/3 of senators PRESENT at the time of the vote. But there must be a majority present to do business. Still 1/3 +1 could pass the treaty, worst case.

you think they can’t find 34 existing democrats to vote in favor of this? If they can do obamacare and bailouts against our will, they can do this as well.
