Heard today that Congress was 61% AGAINST Oba-Mao’s Iran deal but of course, this sicko did it anyway just to build a “legacy”....
WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIMES!!!
Obama got a congressional minority to allow the agreement to take effect.
The big flaw with executive agreeements is they’re not legally binding. Only treaties are under the Constitution.
Obama’s complaint about it being voided is political not legal. He had every opportuniy to get a treaty but he and his advisers couldn’t get it through the Senate.
He can go fly a kite.
He’s not the worst president of all time...
He’s the worst *American* of all time.
Every bit as deserving of three hots and a cot at Guantanamo Bay as any 9/11 conspirator.
A true and genuine domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States if there ever was one.
(Yes, I’m serious)
He is not American.
I dont remember , did he do this with an Executve Order deal ? Stroke of the pen ?
“Senate Democrats delivered a major victory to President Obama when they blocked a Republican resolution to reject a six-nation nuclear accord with Iran on Thursday, ensuring the landmark deal will take effect without a veto showdown between Congress and the White House.
A procedural vote fell two short of the 60 needed to break a Democratic filibuster. It culminated hours of debate in the Senate and capped weeks of discord since the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China announced the agreement with Iran in July.”
I’m still scratching my head over this:
The last time I read the Constitution, I thought it said that a 2/3’s vote is needed in the Senate to RATIFY a treaty, while this article implies that a 2/3’s vote in the Senate (and House, I guess) is needed to REJECT a treaty (after a presidential veto).
What the hell is going on here?
That’s a cop out. Yes, he is.
How many Americans do you suppose have existed? There are what 340 million of us today. Do you suppose if we added up every single American that has existed since the signing of The Declaration we’d have 600 million? A billion? Doesn’t matter - The F’ing Rosenburgs deserve Congessional Medals of Honor and a full apology from the US Government compared to the overt malfeasance of this one man. The distance between his status and the next worst citizen of the United States would take light years to traverse, his sins so manifest that only God himself can reconcile them. He is a demon without a doubt.
Is he a demon or an American?
Executive agreements are international agreements but they’re not treaties.
They don’t need to be ratified while treaties the consent of two-thirds of the Senate.
The latter are purposely difficult to pass because they create binding legal obligation and are the supreme law of the land.
Obama and Kerry couldn’t craft a treaty acceptable to the Senate because would never agree to the kind of terms that would make a treaty pass the Senate.
They just punted the issue and contented themselves with a less than ideal agreement.
Now Trump has voided Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement. He promised to do that on the campaign trail as a candidate.
And he fulfilled it as President.
...this sicko did it anyway just to build a legacy...
The only “legacy” ZER0 has left is the destruction he did to the USA that is slowly being undone and healed by a real President.
“...did he do this with an Executve Order deal ? Stroke of the pen ?”
Yes. If I am correct, with the approval of Congress, a treaty could have been put in place. But in true Obama fashion, he did not care about doing things “right”...only just doing things for HIS benefit. Self serving bastard.
Yes, a real American President! Go Trump!!
Win...
More of obama’s phony baloney and garbage-level incompetence from the word “go.”
The whole thing was a fraud,
Now if there’s a way to undo Obama’s deal for Bergdahl and send the guy back.
And what of the $1.7 billion Zero gave them.
