President Barack Obama is about to make a "dreadful mistake" by cutting a deal with Iran on its nuclear program without approval from Congress, which not only puts the United States in danger but the whole world, renowned legal expert Alan Dershowitz tells Newsmax TV.

"This is a very serious crisis about separation of powers — the president mistakenly believes that the executive has the authority to make this deal with Iran without any input from Congress," Dershowitz, professor emeritus from Harvard Law School, told J.D.

Dershowitz has made “dreadful mistakes” his entire political life. Obama is merely the culmination of his wishes as well as his votes in 2008 and 2012.

He must be wrong ... After all, Obame is a "constitutional law scholar"!

(Maybe he's an expert at the Nigerian constitution?)

I don't see congress dragging Obama, kicking and screaming, out of the white house.

They will share the responsibility in my book.

Can anyone stop his. Look at what the Gallup CEO said about Obama’s unemployment numbers. People are afraid. Are we living in an Authoritarian state?

He is successful in doing so because he does not have any resistance from the other two branches of government.

"He has to recall that under our Constitution, important decisions about changing relationships with countries have to transcend the power of a lame-duck president for the next one-and-a-half years."

The German citizens of the Third Reich, as they looked out their windows at the results of the Reichskristallnacht, must have felt the growing panic and dismay the residents of that territory once known as “the United States of America” are now feeling.

Agreed.

But will he be stopped/removed? One way or another?

I see a possible Dallas resolution.
