They’re not signing jack. The Senate will instantly render it invalid.

The problem is ... Obama can sign any “agreement” and enforce it within the powers of the Office of the President. What he can’t do is enforce that agreement after he’s gone from office. That takes the Senate to do that.

And here is the other problem ... we lost the “veto-proof Congress” I was reading about before. They had the votes before, but NOT NOW!!

‘Netanyahu has burned his bridges with Black Democrats’ [Netanyahu Congress Speech]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3272892/posts

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress challenging President Barack Obama’s Iran policy as well as the premier’s controversial “Arabs are voting in droves” comments during the Israeli election campaign have so infuriated African-American Democrats that “it will be very difficult” for them to lend a sympathetic ear to Israel’s concerns in Congress, Newsweek is reporting on Friday.

“The Congressional Black Caucus is gone,” a Democratic congressional aide told Newsweek.

The reported alienation felt by Black Democrats has practical significance for Netanyahu since it effectively kills any chance that lawmakers could submit legislation mandating new Iran sanctions that would have enough supporters to override an Obama veto.

“Bibi ensured there will be no veto-proof majority in the House,” a Capitol Hill source told Newsweek.
