“...Mr. Obama should want the same kind of consensus on Iran.”
Obama does not care about CONSENSUS. He never has. This thing that does not exist even yet, is NOT a treaty, and at best, would be a simple agreement between Obama and Iran. Right now there is nothing other than Obama, who TRIED to go around the Congress on this, but got slapped down by a veto-proof vote.
This entire situation has no legs. It is just an attempt by Obama to add something to the WORST “legacy” in presidential history.
The Senate, this week, will concede to Obama, in advance, the power to exercise the treaty power and call it an executive agreement. The Senate is agreeing to the White House interpretation. After this bill is passed, the Senate won't have a legal leg to stand on when Obama signs the "executive agreement". The only way to stop this is to stop the Corker bill.
