Obama Sees an Iran Deal That Could Avoid Congress By DAVID E. SANGER OCT. 19, 2014
WASHINGTON — No one knows if the Obama administration will manage in the next five weeks to strike what many in the White House consider the most important foreign policy deal of his presidency: an accord with Iran that would forestall its ability to make a nuclear weapon. But the White House has made one significant decision: If agreement is reached, President Obama will do everything in his power to avoid letting Congress vote on it.
Even while negotiators argue over the number of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to spin and where inspectors could roam, the Iranians have signaled that they would accept, at least temporarily, a “suspension” of the stringent sanctions that have drastically cut their oil revenues and terminated their banking relationships with the West, according to American and Iranian officials.
The Treasury Department, in a detailed study it declined to make public, has concluded Mr. Obama has the authority to suspend the vast majority of those sanctions without seeking a vote by Congress, officials say.

Lord Foul again pisses on America and it’s people.
He is lost. Maybe Obama meant “get loster.”
Can you spell “T y r a n t” and “T r a i t o r”?
Why would Obama be scared or give a damn with Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Lance Priebus as the face of the Opposition?
Why would he have to tell Boehner to get lost? When has Boehner not given him what he wants?
And since when does the Speaker of the House have anything to say about a treaty?
Its people. “It’s people” means something very different from what was likely intended.
Thats funny. Clearly both me and the headline writer are equally fuzzy on the concept... :)
Obama finds another way to screw America, Israel, and the free world.
I can spell saboteur.
What is the word of an enemy islamist worth to an American by the Constitution?
I say, “Ptuh!”
He doesn’t want a vote, because it won’t even be an agreement. It will be a collection of vague promises, followed by a “Death to America” chant.
As they say, follow the money... one of Obama’s donors was an Iranian-”American” who bilked Citibank and the guy was a pro-regime guy wanting to get sanctions lifted. And no doubt some oil interests donated too.
Payola ...and he’s not the only donor with the same interests:
