He’s right, having never bene ratified by congress it was never a treaty, executive agreements are only between the current president and the nation(s) signing. They are not binding constitutionally and only serve as a legal requirement as long as the president (current or future) decides to abide by it, can be withdrawn at any time at the presidents pleasure.

Some idiots try to claim it as a treaty under international law but that is completely bogus as our constitution only allows for congress to authorize the treaty as binding at that legal level.

I personally am for this Trump deal but have my doubts he will get it past congress as a treaty (if he decides to go that way) for the same reasons Obozo couldn’t only this time it will be dems blocking it for political reasons, not because it was bad for the country.

Is English not your first language?

JCPOA wasn’t a “treaty.”

The Senate has to confirm Treaties.

Since it wasn’t a Treaty, the Senate doesn’t have to approve of it.

Congress has zero to do with that.
