| Obama to Veto Any Congress Attempt to stop It: N-Deal Makes World Safer |
| 2015-07-15 |
[ALMANAR.LB] US President Barack ObamaRepublicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... declared Tuesday that the landmark nuclear deal with Iran is built on verification, not trust alone, and he threatened to veto any attempt by Congress to stop it. "This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change, change that makes our country and the world safer and more secure," he said in an early-morning statement from the White House. He said that the United States had "negotiated from a position of strength and principle" and "stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in this region." Walking away from the deal, he said, could touch off a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world. "Put simply," the president said, "no deal means the chance of more war in the Middle East." Foreign ministers from Iran and major powers have signed on Tuesday the final agreement regarding the nuclear program of the Islamic Theocratic Republicin a win-win deal for both sides. |

| #10 unfortunately, back in the 90s, the Korean-US Nuclear agreement was not considered a treaty in fact there was no Vote in either the House or Senate in support of that deal (it is sometimes called the 'Agreed Framework') thus, when Congress was trying to get some authority to stop the Iran agreement they were handicapped by this history and btw, that Korean thing turned out badly |

| #7 Any override of an Obama veto by the Congress will need the pro-Obama Senate's approval. |

| #5 So are they going to call this something other than a treaty as calling Obamacare a health care reform instead of a tax? Everyone seems to be calling it a 'deal' rather than a treaty. I suspect this is not an accident. |

| #4 You missed it. A few weeks ago, GOP senators and GOP leadership rammed through a bill handing that power over to Obama and requires not just a majority of the Senate to overrule the treaty, but a 2/3 vote of BOTH houses. Boehner and McConnel sold you down the river. Not enough of you listened with people were screaming out the truth about this. People like RINO Republicans who voted for it are to blame - Bob Corker and others - they provided the deciding votes to pass this. |

| #2 AND ratifying a treaty on an up or down vote cannot be vetoed...so if Congress votes the treaty down. Its dead. End of story. Congress would be smart to vote to not ratify it and end the silliness there, any attempts to modify the agreement would merely create a food fight between Congress and the Executive branch. |

| #1 Uhhhh, According to that annoying document the US Constitution, Congress must ratify any treaty with a foreign government. So are they going to call this something other than a treaty as calling Obamacare a health care reform instead of a tax? |
