Okay, I’m not exactly sure if you’re saying you don’t think Congress would act or not, but I’ll respond as if that is your point.

I don’t think they would intercede if they could.

Crystal Palace East did point out this is a return of impounded money, so it’s not like Congress has the purse strings to the. She’s right.

My apologies, I was referring to the treaty/agreement to be signed. I do understand it is frozen assets dating back to 1979, correct?

I was opining that if anyone was expecting the release of the frozen funds to be held up because the agreement was going to be held up in the legislative branch, I have seen nothing at all from that branch of the government that would indicate any kind of spine or responsibility.

The agreement/treaty does need to be approved by Congress before the frozen funds could be released doesn’t it? (that is a question...my assumption could be erroneous. For all I know, he is going to use an executive order or something like that, and who on earth would stand up and tell him he can’t?)
