Boehner cannot really do anything about this since only the Senate approves treaties.

Boehner cannot really do anything about this since only the Senate approves treaties.

If the Senate does not ratify Start III, they will try to ram it through as a normal piece of Federal legislation, likely attached to the Defense Appropriations bill (With the repeal of DADT). Many "treaties" have been passed as federal legislation to bypass the 2/3rds Senate requirement.

Should this happen, we will need the Republicans to shoot down the appropriations bill until these things are taken off.
