We need to be especially watchful on this turkey- normal treaties require 2/3 vote of the US Senate, however Slick Willie found a way around that with NAFTA- It’s called a Congressional-Executive Agreement, and it made it thru the senate with a vote of 61 instead of 2/3. That’s right, BOHICA. By the way, ran across this on wikipedia: “(In an interview with Larry King on October 8, 2007, former Mexican president Vincente Fox acknowledged the plan for a North American single currency, referring to his and President Bush’s support for the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) as a “first step” toward “a new vision” for the Americas, “like we are trying to do with NAFTA.”[4])” So Jorge ain’t gonna be happy until our dollars are all traded in for PESOS. Sleep well.

NO THEY DON'T. Treaty ratification requires 2/3 of Senators PRESENT, not 2/3 of the full Senate.

Click here for the history on that sorry state of affairs.
