Because it would never get the 67 Senate votes needed to pass. The ruling class redefined "treaty" into "agreement" with NAFTA to get around that constitutionally mandated 67 vote thing.

The ruling class does not like the "uppity" middle class or our Constitution which enabled the "uppity" middle class is the first place. They are always looking for ways to get around our Constitution. Every member of Congress swears to defend the Constitution, 90% of them are outright lying pigs.

It can’t happen. Not even under Obama.

He won't 'veto the veto'. He'll merely follow the agreement to the letter without congressional approval.

Who will stop him?

Obama warning Congress: that’s real insulting to Congress. Is Congress his child?

No, it's his prison beech.

He has their NSA and FBI files, play along or become Bubba's real prison beech.

Israel needs to make a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran. Israel has to protect itself to survive.

I have reached the point that I no longer believe it is blackmail. I now think that they are conspirators.

His Majesty has spoken. The deal is complete. Nobody in this country has the balls to stop it. Iran has won and nuclear war is on the way, our way. Get personally prepared for the worst.

Whatever it is, it is not a constitutional process.

The agreement, no matter how you look at it, is a treaty. Anything less than a 2/3 approval by the Senate makes the agreement void.

While it is exactly as you say...stupid to veto a bill that doesn’t pass the Congress....that is somehow the stupid piece of legislation that Corker the Traitor crafted.

Otherwise, we were told, Obama would just pass it by executive order. THAT wouldn’t have been nearly as bad as this monstrosity Corker has foisted on it, giving the veneer of law.

And executive order coupled with Sen Tom Cotton’s letter requiring a treaty vote would have been sufficient to kill this 1.5 years from now.

Corker, however, saw that Cotton was right and came along and rescued the Obama initiative.
