"It requires 2/3’s of the Senate to be ratified."

No, that's what the vote on fast track authority was all about. Thanks in part to Ted Cruz who claimed fast track was a wonderful thing, it only requires a simple majority with the VP on hand to break a tie.

I didn't realize that, thanks. I hope a senator like Rand Paul objects when they ask for unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the bill and the clerk reads every one of the 2000 plus pages to the American people.
