From the second paragraph of the letter

President Obama chose to pursue this major international accord as an executive agreement, rather than as a treaty, in order to circumvent the Constitution’s requirement of two-thirds approval by the U.S. Senate for enactment. U.S. CONST. Art. II, § 2. However, because the Constitution clearly contemplates that such agreements, fundamentally reordering the relations between the United States and a foreign country, shall be concluded as treaties, the Iran agreement does not constitute the “Supreme Law of the Land,” U.S. CONST. Art. VI, binding upon the States. Indeed, in Medellin v. Texas, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that even treaties are not binding upon the States unless they are self-executing or are accompanied by implementing legislation enacted by Congress. 552 U.S. 491, 504-06 (2008).

Obama uses the Constitution as TP.The GOP acts like it is written in Chinese.

We can thank Ted Cruz for that.

He's also been out in front, urging the states to enact their own sanctions.
