I am confused about this veto thing. Is it just me? If Congress has to approve an agreement, whether it’s a treaty requiring 2/3 or some other agreement requiring a simple majority, how can the president veto the outcome? Either they approved it or they didn’t.

The Corker bill pretty much upended the Treaty Cluse. Instead of 67 votes to approve, they made it 67 votes to reject...by law, and laws and be vetoed...just how Obama wanted it, so there would be no check to his power.

The Congres neutered itself...on purpose. Corker, McConnell, Boehner and their ilk strike again!

The pending Iran deal was “Corkered” by Senator Bob Corker, R-TN. Allows Odumbo to veto a bill rejecting the agreement! Who needs the Constitution?

McConnell, Corker, and Boehner gave away Congress’ power to veto such agreements/treaties back in May. Tom Cotton sounded the alarm but was smacked down by the GOP-E...he was the lone Senate vote against the legislation empowering Obama. Now, the Republicans are trying the Kabuki Dance routine to try and fool people that they are outraged, OUTRAGED, over the deal and will try to roll it back through new legislation, even though they know full well that they gave Obama the means to veto it.

Obama is an incompetent childish affirmative action idiot. He isn't knowledgeable enough to understand how anything works, and he's too stupid to learn.

He is a fool whom the Media catapulted into that office because he is black, and for no other reason. Obama isn't really the problem, he's an obvious symptom of the problem.

The problem is that the media deliberately misinforms the voting public, and thereby tampers with elections.

We need to nuke the existing media structure. We need to turn the current media into a massive glassy plain that glows blue in the night.

McConnell pushed for cloture on the Iran deal as an agreement, not a treaty. Boehner skipped along after McConnell. McConnell is mentally deranged and idiotic, controlled by money. Boehner is a drunk who is compromised and is being blackmailed.
