Currently all treaties need to be approved by the Senate by simple majority. Our president is trying to have the Senate pass legislation that gives him full authority to approve treaties without Senate approval and then require the Senate to have a super majority to reject the treaty. Essentially this gives the president the authority to do as he wishes in terms of treaties and takes even more power away from Congress.
