I don't believe that a majority of the congress can take from 1/3 of the Senate their constitutional right to reject a treaty. If this were the case, then a majority could pass constitutional amendments on their own by passing a law, or get around the supermajority requirements in any number of situations.

Cruz or Lee should call for a vote on the TREATY, and ask the chair for a ruling that it has failed when it can't get 34 votes. If McConnell blocks this, then it becomes Cruz's basis for a suit to prevent it being considered legally valid.

A plan! He would have standing for a Supreme Court challenge, right? What do you think the vote of the nine justices would be? Could they get 6 to 3?
