Which means there is something intrinsically wrong with it...as far as US interests are concerned.

The full text of the bill must have been on CNN. Either that or he’s going to have to sign it first and then find out what’s in it?

Isn’t this a treaty? And doesn’t a treaty have to be approved by a 2/3 senate vote? (Obama’s Iran Nuke deal)

Well, it’s a senate compromise bill, meaning - McConnell approved it. Need I say more?

No. Not a treaty. An agreement, understanding, etc but not a formal treaty.

It’s kind of like “it;s not a war because we call it a conflict”

In short, it’s just more BS.

Does anyone else think Obama did this so he could sneak Cuba in under the radar?

Well, politicians do that a lot. But the Cuba thing is out there and everyone is quite aware of it. I don’t think this covers it up or really diverts attention.

So, no, I don’t think that’s it. Just think they came along about the same time.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but while the US Constitution specifies that no treaty is valid unless AGREED TO by a 2/3 majority of the Senate, I think this bill says that whatever Obama wants is OK unless 2/3 of the Senate votes AGAINST it!! Corker has not just REPEALED, he has REVERSED the Constitution!
