Mitch McConnell is playing political establishment games with the security and well being of this nation.

The Senate should simply have indicated that the deal is a Treaty and therefore must be ratified by 2/3rd of the senate.

Instead he helped flip the constitutional requirement on its ear and turned it into the exact opposite.

Here in 2016 we need to do the same thing to the Republican RINO establishment that we did to the Dems in 2010 and 2014...and route the vipers out of the halls of power.

Only when we replace these career politicians and all of their inside the beltway power games with Americans intent on doing what is right for this nation, will we be able to effectively take up and do the nation’s business.

It doesn't matter what they call it... IT IS A TREATY. Why? Because only a treaty has the force of law. Existing law, as passed by Congress and signed by the President, is sanctions for Iran. To change that law, you either need a repealing law or a treaty.

I don't care how many times they say it. If it changes our laws, it is a treaty and should be treated as such by the Senate.
