it just has to pass the Senate with 51 votes, it does not have to be ratified by the Senate.The Speaker plans to use legislation, not a Treaty... she has no part in Treaty making, but she does have control of legislating... is how I took it...?
Legislation is worthless without the Senate to ratify it, and the President to sign it.
The president can veto it, but the veto also can be overridden with 2/3's vote.
Some legislation won't make it through the process, but some will...
