Only 2/3 of senators present are needed to pass it.

The Constitution specifies "two thirds of the Senators present," which could be as few as 34.

Yet the government claims it has the option pursuant to "customary international law" to enforce a treaty UPON SIGNATURE.

No, I'm not kidding. To learn how this happened, read this article.
