"So at this point Congress appears to be treating the Iran nuclear deal like a treaty with a new watered down authority to approve or disapprove it."

This is PRECISELY the Fast Track process used on Trade Deals.

Only this time it was applied to an International Arms Treaty.

Incredible.

But even more incredible is there are MANY people here on FR that support it and those who voted for it.

Many people on FR do not understand the difference between a Treaty and an Executive Agreement or even what an Executive Agreement is.

An Executive Agreement really designed as far as I know for an agreement between us and one other country. Anytime you have 5 countries engaged in an agreement with another its a treaty and Congress should IMO just have dug in its heels and insisted that this Iran Nuclear Deal was a treaty and would have to be ratified or else they would not allow any of it to be funded. There are many things they could have done to stop this deal from going forward. Instead in a moment of insanity they passed this watered down ratification process which is totally unconstitutional.
