The United Nations Security Council is being used to midwife the legal instrument that legitimizes the path to a possible nuclear holocaust.
The final Iran nuclear deal agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is heading this Monday to the United Nations Security Council for a scheduled rubber stamp endorsement of its terms. The resolution, which will go into effect 90 days after passage, incorporates the JCPOA as an attachment. It invokes the Security Council’s authority under the UN Charter to call upon the UN member states to support the implementation of the nuclear deal terms.
In addition to promising to veto any attempt by Congress to block the deal, the Obama administration intends to render Congress irrelevant by using the UN Security Council as an instrument for conferring on the JCPOA the status of binding international law. Six prior Security Council resolutions passed between 2006 and 2010 have required Iran to suspend its nuclear enrichment program altogether, four of which contain sanctions. They will be terminated and replaced with the loop-hole ridden JCPOA before Congress even begins to consider what the JCPOA contains.

Stupidity on the hoof.
Of course they are. Who’da thunk anything else. ;-)
Well its the UN, full of Jew Haters, of course they endorse this deal
so when oh when will Americans demand we get the H E double L out of the IslamoNazi/Communist international conspiracy known as the UN?
what an insult to even have it in the USA!
CONGRE$$$ sits giggling in the corner,, denuded and beyond contempt in its complicity.
isn’t our congress already useless?
Obama is leading the West to the slaughter. He will be celebrated by the Ummah as if he were the 12th Imam.
If the UN supports it, it can’t be bad!

The White House would not say where the president would spend the night, citing security concerns.
Does anybody else think this might be a cover for secret meetings with United Nations officials regarding the Iran deal? Is this really an international planning session for Obama to bypass Congress?
They are saying he's taking his daughters to see the new musical Hamilton. Since when has Obama cared about anything about a dead white Founding Father?
I think it's a cover story for secret meetings with UN personnel. Sure, he'll go to the show with his daughters, but he's really going to conspire with the UN to circumvent the United States Constitution.

Sounded like total horseshit to me, accepting the premise that it was going to be a done deal.
I think they collectively just don't want to wake up dead or something. God bless Senator Cotton, and God help us. The US Senate is full of traitors, and the White House...
There's an especially burning, stinking, profane, infernal place in hell for anyone and everyone who was in on this.
Now that you mention it I believe you are right.
“Obama is leading the West to the slaughter.”
It may take a mini-slaughter, which will happen when Iran sets off a nuclear weapon as an act of aggression or terror. It will make a mess of a city but not destroy the world. After that happens, Iran will be blown off the map. I don’t know how this will play out.
I’m afraid the deal is being forced upon us by other countries that need the trade with Iran. It doesn’t take much force to control our spineless leaders.

President Barack Obama’s announcement that he will approach the UN Security Council to approve the nuclear deal with Iran, and rescind past resolutions and international sanctions, before Congress approves the agreement, came as something of a surprise to many. When Congress passed Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, and President Obama signed it into law in May, the public understanding was that Congress would have the final say.
It turns out that the President had no such intention. He is exploiting a loophole in the law, which states that the Act only applies to “statutory sanctions”—i.e. those passed by Congress. Other sanctions are within the power of the president to impose or remove. (There is another loophole, too: even statutory sanctions have a waiver provision that allows the president to remove them for reasons of national security.) Corker is reportedly angry, but there is nothing that he can do.
At the time the Corker bill was passed, critics (including this author) focused on the fact that the bill lowered the threshold for passing an international agreement. Instead of requiring a two-thirds majority for approval in the Senate, the Iran deal would now require a simple majority for approval in both houses, and a two-thirds majority to reject the deal by overriding the president’s veto.
Other critics, notably Andrew C. McCarthy, warned that the text President Obama gave to Congress would not necessarily be the one that he submitted to the UN Security Council.
But even that criticism assumed Obama would present the Iran deal to Congress first. Instead, he is going to the UN first, avoiding Congress entirely regarding core aspects of the deal.
That means that when Congress considers the deal, it will not be able to review the entire agreement. Certain aspects will be out of its hands and impossible to reverse.
Moreover, if Congress rejects the deal, it will not be able to send world powers back to the negotiating table. The best it can to is retain the sanctions the U.S. has imposed unilaterally—yet the president can still use waivers to lift those.
Unless the UN vote is delayed, there is only one way for Congress to exercise its full oversight powers on the Iran deal: the agreement could be introduced into the Senate as a treaty. That is the only way to stop Obama from implementing the agreement. But that, in turn, depends on Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) allowing such a vote to come to the floor—which he will not.
The problem remains that under the Corker bill, it does not matter whether Congress rejects the Iran deal. Obama will use what he claims to be his executive powers to implement the deal, regardless.’
I’ve written every congress critter I can think of. Liberal senators are the rule in the Northwest and only Wyden is semi rational. I never before felt so small, old and helpless.
Seems to me the perfect occasion to get the US out of the UN and Impeach the preposterous Czar in the White House.
