Congress vill vote the agreement down, Obama will veto the Congressional vote and his veto will be upheld, just as was planned in the April Iran bill that Obama signed.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever read. You can't veto the rejection of a bill. The only veto power the president has is a veto of legislation that has been passed by both houses of congress.

Talk about stupid, read the rest of the thread and the history of the April Iran bill. You are being deliberately dense.

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.
