Treaties require 2/3 approval by the Senate.

They literally changed the rules for this one specific treaty. It stunk then, and now we know why. I honestly don't think this would be found to be Constitutional if challenged. I don't think the Congress can vote away their job responsibilities.

Yes they can and have before. Where do you think all those ‘rules’ that have the force of law from the EPA, IRS, HHS, etc come from. Congress makes very few laws anymore. Most edicts come from bureaucrats and bureaucracies. Unelected and unaccountable by the citizens. That is the main reason we are screwed.

” I don’t think the Congress can vote away their job “

They have been voting away their job by refusing to vote for a while .

Yes every senator except Cotton voted 99-1 to change the rules so that Obama would only need 34 votes instead of the 66 approval . they called it the Corker bill.

So they all voted for it but now put on an act like they are against it. Typical and the sheep believe them still

They did something similar with TPA and obama trade , vote for it before they vote against it then give a speech.
