I question if this if officially a treaty which is legally binding.
Instead of having a 2/3 approval vote by the Senate, as required by the constitution, they came up with this half assed manuver, in which Congress could vote to disapprove rather than approve, and then Obama would veto the disapproval , and then need only 1/3 plus 1 vote in Congress to uphold the veto of the disapproval.
Pardon my language, but this is a half assed procedure of questionable legality.
I would love to see the next Republican president, hopefully elected in 2016, say that since it didn’t go through the ratification process, that this “deal” with Iran is not legally binding.
And can I mention media bias? This AP article hails this as a great victory for Obama, because a minority of Senators were able to filibuster a resolution of disapproval. The vast majority of Congress disapproves, yet it’s being hailed in the propaganda as a great Obama visionary victory. Go figure.
It’s all about Obama - as always. It is a cult of personality. There is no law, no rule, no provision of the Constitution which can not be discarded. Obama must have “signature legislation”, “legacy” this or that, etc etc.
Once Iran gets the $150 billion the game is OVER.
