he cant sign it unless the senate ratifies it with a 2/3rd majority vote. You might want to read
this reply of mine.
This is the relevant section...
The PRESIDING OFFICER. A division has been requested.
Senators in favor of the ratification of this treaty, please raise their hand. (After a pause.) Those opposed will raise their hands.
With two-thirds of the Senators present having voted in the affirmative, the resolution of ratification is agreed to.
Mr. THOMAS. I thank the Presiding Officer, the Senator from West Virginia, and the clerk.
By the way, just for information, these treaties were all approved by the Foreign Relations Committee on October 4 and 5.
A show of hands without a quorum call and with no recorded vote. Those present voted, not the whole Senate.

This isn’t Germany in 1923. It’ll never happen in this country but I would love to see him try to seize dictatorial power through some kind of scheme like that. It’s exactly what we need him to try in fact.
