It’s safe to say that no president in modern times has had his legitimacy questioned by the opposition party as much as Barack Obama. But as his term in office enters its final phase, Republicans are embarking on an entirely new enterprise: They have decided that as long as he holds the office of the presidency, it’s no longer necessary to respect the office itself.
Is that a bit hyperbolic? Maybe. But this news is nothing short of stunning:
A group of 47 Republican senators has written an open letter to Iran’s leaders warning them that any nuclear deal they sign with President Barack Obama’s administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.
Organized by freshman Senator Tom Cotton and signed by the chamber’s entire party leadership as well as potential 2016 presidential contenders Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the letter is meant not just to discourage the Iranian regime from signing a deal but also to pressure the White House into giving Congress some authority over the process.
“It has come to our attention while observing your nuclear negotiations with our government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system … Anything not approved by Congress is a mere executive agreement,”(continued)

Obama might as well not be President for all the good he’s doing!
He’s not the president. He’s a fraud.
Was Mr. Waldman asleep from 2000 to 2008?
Well, Obama is irrelevant.
That is one nonsense headline. The Praetorian Media pushing the false narrative again.
Really? Seems to me like they are acting as if he is President of Congress and they are just the hired help.
I recall Rats protesting Bush during his inauguration after they tried to steal the election in 2000. Obama has been treated with kid gloves.
Seems fair - the president has been bypassing congress.
Legislative v executive
….^….. a pulse in CONgre$$
Edited for reality
F OBAMA! Good for Cotton for sticking it that foreign Marxian terrorist
Yup.
W’s legitimacy was questioned non-stop by the Democrats — beginning with algore’s frivolous election challenge in Florida.
Not to mention the 1980’s. Does anybody remember the “Dear Comandante” letter to Danial Ortega written by House Dems?
BS, when Obama says “Jump”, Boner says, “How High?”
Obviously a “history started with my birth” kid.
Look up Iran-Contra, you little $h!t.
Media hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Act like a despot, get treated like a despot.
Netanyahu's invitation, speech ... this letter sent by Republicans ... Another couple of events and the Republicans will be seen as and heralded as, rebels and traitors and the civilian well armed as the military corpse (intentional) will be called out
I want action, but not this
I want the news media publically and continuously attacked as the knee padders they are and FORCE them to confront the accusations
I think at this point, we need that war between America and the media ... they're the ones that are killing us
Well, according to our Constitution, he can’t be President.
He is not a natural born citizen, maybe not a citizen at all. Did he ever re-naturalize after he was an Indonesian?
I’ve always regarding him as what he is, an usurper.
The biggest con ever pulled.
Lots of help.
