WHO is Bob Corker?
Oh. That’s right. He’s the thoroughly forgettable RINO who was a Senator from Tennessee. He best die quickly if he wants to attract a crowd to his funeral. In 2 years no one will even know or remember his name.
Not sure where I got this from...but it was mostly about why did Sessions vote for this ...
There was no “Iran deal” without Corker’s maneuver.
The Corker scheme allowed the Iran agreement,(not treaty) to let the senate cede their constitutional advice and consent role as this wasn’t presented as a Treaty.
Congress voted for the Iran Review act. It only required a simple majority to pass. (Jeff Sessions voted for this.)
What this did, was force any other vote on Iran, to go thru cloture in the senate (which happened in sept 2015 a couple of times and failed.) and pass the house.
If it had passed Congress, Obama would have vetoed it and Congress would have had to override by 2/3 rds.
The votes weren’t there for that, so there was no way this Iran deal was going to be sabotaged.
If Corker’s maneuver fails, there is no Iran deal.
