Appears to be a toothless 30-day review period, no mention of the word “vote” or “approval” of the deal. Just 30 days of bloviating by the likes of McConnell and Graham.
This will only give legitimacy to the final capitulation by Obama. And this on the day after Russia announces plans to ship the S-300 missile system to Iran.
The only thing that would matter is an up or down vote on the treaty. Win or lose, let Obama veto it.
It’s about lifting the sanctions that the Congress imposed.
I don’t want a treaty with Iran. My understanding is this isn’t going to be a treaty. Yet if approved by the House and the Senate will it become a treaty or just an “executive understanding”?
Worst yet, if after passing this law, then upon not acting on either approving or disapproving, does it become a treaty? Is Congress inadvertently painting itself into a negative affirmation approval on on treaties?
Negative affirmation means by not acting on it, it is considered passed because they didn’t reject it? That’s how they used to get their pay raises. They had it setup so that they have to “vote no” on their pay raise, or it automatically goes into effect.
