Maybe we could offer them Obama, too.

[ “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? ]

Bob Corker happened...

I was so hoping today Trump would say another reason for ditching it was that the Senate did not ratify it. And that is another part of this long process to bring back Constitutional government to these United States of America.

That would have been sweet.

Well, one other very good thing about these revelations - Vooch was outed for the ignorant ass that he is, and was unceremoniously terminated from FR yesterday.

1.) The Iran Deal was not a ratified treaty.
2.) Iran never signed the “deal”, so therefore it was never binding.
3.) The “deal” was nothing more than a “community organizing” play by the cocaine-snorter and cheat, O-buttfkr.

According to the State Department, Iran never signed the document. Therefore it was not even an executive “agreement!”
