I want to see some defense of that Iranian vote. Any takers?
The bad deal with Iran that Obama proposes is not a treaty requiring 2/3 majority of the Senate for approval. The recent legislation in the U.S. Senate turns the 2/3 approval requirement upside down and in effect it will require 2/3 majority of Congress to prevent Obama from proceeding with the bad deal.
During debate on the bill in the U.S. Senate, Senator Cruz offered an Amendment to prevent the Senate from neutering itself, turning the Constitution upside down and abandoning the Senate's authority to approve a deal requiring 2/3 majority, but it was not accepted. Cruz voted against ending debate on the Senate bill to delay passage (Nay on cloture) but that side did not prevail.
Cruz correctly pointed out in his speech on the Senate floor during debate that Obama's deal with Iran does not have the weight of a treaty under authority of the Constitution. The next President can rescind it completely without the approval of Congress.
In the final vote for the bill (98-1), Sen. Cruz, Sen. Lee and others who strongly oppose the Iran deal recognize that some oversight in Obama's treachery and a means to slow down the process is preferable to allowing Obama to proceed unabated. In providing this oversight, it's their intent to oppose the deal and prevent lifting of sanctions against Iran at every opportunity. This fight is NOT over.
Why would anyone conservative vote Yes to stop debate on fast tracking powers for a top secret trade bill that gives the most radical far left America hater zealot power to add amnesty after the fact.
This creature is enemy of the US
so he gives him unlimited unconstitutional power over a secret trade agreement !
Cruz should have stopped it.
But everyone voted to ram this thru even Sessions who was screaming about it !
Notice how quiet the Gop is about a secret deal which is nothing but a Amnesty Trojan horse bill for K street !
So much for being conservative!
They are all owned by K street!
