I can imagine the phone calls from the Administration to the Democrat hold outs.    "Vote for the deal, or we'll release some pictures..."

In order for a treaty to be fully ratified, doesn't the Senate have to vote to ratify it?  What is all this veto proof stuff about?  Where does the Constitution give the President the power to make a treaty and then the Congress has the burden of overriding it like a bill that was vetoed?

Why wouldn't he get the votes?  He's gotten everything else he's wanted.  The GOP is the party of, "We Can't Do Anything To Stop Him."

This is a treaty.  Republicans are letting Obama continue to act like this is a legally binding agreement when it clearly is not.  We don't need 2/3 majority to stop it.  Obama needs 2/3 of the Senate to ratify it.

LOL,  I said, "I can imagine..."   stuff like that happening.  I didn't say it did happen.   I have a feeling that the Administration has dirt on members of Congress and possibly uses blackmail to twist their arms to voting how they should.
