Dershowitz is right: the President doesn't hold absolute treaty power under the Constitution, as far as I am aware. The relevant part of Article II., Section 2 says:

"[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;"

And that's pretty much the end of it.

So, any Presidential "deal" that is cut with Iran is subject to 2/3 Senate approval, or is null and void.

But, if Barry Soetoro rejected Weatern civilization, converted to Islam, signified that by abandoning his “slave” name by getting a new muslim name the destruction of the world would be his “religious” duty and not wrong at all. Poor Barack Hussain Obama, so misunderstood, and so transparent too!

“I don’t see congress dragging Obama, kicking and screaming, out of the white house.
They will share the responsibility in my book.”

I am glad to see that I’m not the only one out here screaming, “WHY WON’T CONGRESS STOP HIM???!!!???”
I’ve been shaking my head so hard that I have a headache.
