File under: Govt of Iran

#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?

#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.

#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.

Everyone seems to be calling it a 'deal' rather than a treaty. I suspect this is not an accident.

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

#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
