The current Iran deal is an Executive Agreement, not a treaty. Obama has the authority to make such agreements without Congress. That they passed a bill to include Congress at all was some improvement.

“A treaty is a formal, written agreement between sovereign states or between states and international organizations. In the United States, treaties are negotiated through the executive branch, which includes the Department of State. Once the negotiators have accepted the terms of the treaty, the president sends the treaty to the U.S. Senate for its “advice and consent” on ratification, or endorsement. If the Senate agrees that the president should ratify the treaty, it goes back to him/her and s/he ratifies the treaty with his/her signature.” I see nothing in this disaster that doesn’t scream TREATY. What “is” is?
