This is a bogus article. The corker bill was an Obama breakout .Korker got owned. The first giveaway is that it was bipartisan between Democrats and Republican.Nothing is bipartisan any more.
The original Constitutional clause says the senate may vote up or down the treaty. Now the senate needs 67 vote to veto Obama’s treaty. It’s really more complicated that that but korker will allow Iran to get a bomb with his recklessness.
Yes an no.
In this case the vote was on the circumstances for removing sanctions, not approving a treaty. Some sanctions are in the hands of the President, he can remove them with the stroke of a pen. Others require a Congressional vote.
The President can unilaterally enter into agreements with foreign nations, they just don’t have have the force offa treaty, and can be undone by a future administration.
67 votes?! I didn’t know that was part of the deal. I shoud have known.
Ah, besides China building five new nuclear facilities in Iran, Russia selling them SAMs, the attack on the mock US aircraft carrier, the chants of death to America, the refusal to end the call for Israel’s destruction, the support of terrorism throughout the region, the torturing of American prisoners, including a marine and the faiure to et inspectors do their job, this is a GEAT deal.
Why hasn’t Israel launched yet?
It sick to see all these paid media trolls spinning this disaster as good news.
corker is a very wealthy, big war chest RINO, and up for re-election 2016.
Need I say more?
This "political agreement" is a disaster. It means Iran will be (or is) a nuclear power, there will be a nuclear arms race, and Israel has been abandoned.
Corker is a fool. He serves the Democrats.
“Now the senate needs 67 vote to veto Obama’s treaty.”
They will get 67. Moderates and bad, but they won’t commit political suicide.
