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”....
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.
“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?
Win...
More of obama’s phony baloney and garbage-level incompetence from the word “go.”
The whole thing was a fraud,
And what of the $1.7 billion Zero gave them.
” a resurgent neoconservative emerging”.
F#CK the neocons, PALEOCON is the only way forward.
America and the CONSTITUTION first, last, and always.
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.
