I was looking up some of these trade deals earlier, and found with the notation that under international law they were considered treaties, but that they weren’t in the US because our Congress chose to use the standard of passage by House and Senate rather than 2/3 majority to succeed.

Just a curiosity I ran across. In other words, they look like a treaty, walk like a treaty, quack like a treaty, but our Congress has blatantly ignored our Constitution.

Gives me a warm fuzzy deep inside.

A “no” vote was the Constitutional vote, right?
