Like the Senate is going to impeach him for signing a treaty that they themselves ratified?

It's not a treaty (that wouldn't pass); it's a trade agreement (that maybe they can sneak by).

Why NAFTA wasn't taken to court over this bogus distinction I'll never know.

Interesting, now that you mentioned it, I looked up the vote and saw that it was only 54-45. Maybe there still is hope. In any case, though it still required at least a majority of the Senate to approve. 2/3 of them aren't going to turn around and impeach him for it.

I don't know what difference it would make. The government will just say that it's not a treaty; it's an act of Congress. It's not like the courts have recognized any meaningful limitations on those.
