The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 was passed with 99 votes in favor of it by the Senate. Only 1 vote was no, and it was likely due to the need to have an objecting vote for the purpose of bringing future motions.

Republicans helped to destroy the requirement in the Constitution for a 2/3 vote to approve a treaty.

The law says it is now they opposite.

The law is valid unless disapproved.
The president can veto the disapproval.
Congress can then only override the veto with a 2/3 vote.

So, instead of requiring 2/3 of the Senate to approve, you now need 2/3 of both houses to reject it.

The Republicans are complicit in this 100%, and now seek to hide behind the law.

Public Law No: 114-17 (05/22/2015)

However, the Constitution cannot be voted away.

Congress cannot change the Constitution.

The agreement is a treaty. The Treaty is an agreement. A circular redefinition to allow subterfuge by all of government.

This is so anti-constitutional, it makes me sick at heart.
