This deal is a TREATY! And per the Constitution it must be approved by 2/3 of the Senate BEFORE it becomes effective. Obama doesn’t just get to negotiate a treaty and declare it in effect while daring Congress to oppose it.

It's not a treaty, despite quacking and waddling like one. The President calls it a nonbinding agreement. One of the few honest statements he's made. A treaty requires a 2/3 vote because once ratified it becomes US law, unless we withdraw. Nonbinding and agreement mean just that. The President, Barak Hussein Obama, is making a deal which from the start doesn't bind him, Congress, the Courts anyone, to anything. Future Presidents are bound to nothing. So it's a worthless piece of paper. The UN sanctions are off, that's real and the responsibility of the President, so Iran won. Kicked our infidel butts. It's only value is the cover it gives Obama to not enforce any sanctions Congress might pass, or to use the many tools we might have to punish Iran or others trading with them. Which he wasn't going to do anyway. I agree it's a treaty by any logical interpretation, but it doesn't matter, he was always going to free Iran at the UN, and he's not going to do anything about Iran. It's a lawless administration, and the solution is a Republican President.
