RE: that does not mean they have the “authority of the United States” as required by the law
Where in the letter did they say they have the “authority of the United States” as required by law?
Is there any law against a group of Senators writing a letter to the Iranian government?
Actually the Constitution gives the Executive Branch the sole power to negotiate treaties, and the Senate power to accept or squelch.
In regards to where “does it say they have authority”? You should look up the Law of Agency and Apparent or Implied Authority.
This is a bad precedent and if the Dems do it to a Pres. Cruz or Walker, or whoever, we will be hollering. Not good PR, and not effective for any purpose.

Is there a law against anyone writing a letter to the Iranian government?
