“Yes, Congress has no business commenting on US foreign policy, that’s the POTUS turf.”
I don’t think so. If that were the case then why do
treaties have to have Senate approval? Same with war.
The war powers act being what it is, it still has limitations
and eventual congressional approval. I don’t think the
founders of this country took into consideration that at
some point the president would be facilitating arming our
enemies. In this case your are right to a point. They
have no business because they have taken impeachment off
the table. They might as well sit down and shut up.
The constitution is not a suicide pact. It was not meant to
destroy this country. I thing Paul and Cruz has every right
to comment on this clowns foreign policy if it runs contrary
to the benefit of this country.
Technically, I can somewhat commiserate, under more reasonable and sane times. But I, my personal vote, put my Congressman and Senators there to STOP anything and EVERYTHING Obama wants to do, and reverse what he has done already.
As far as I’m concerned his daily life is filled with efforts to destroy this country.
nully-the-psychic says:
Here's the deal:
If Iran says they'll stop their nuclear weapons program, we'll give them 10 fully functional W88 warheads with the PAL codes (00000000 in all cases)
The announcement to the American public will be made after the warheads have been physically transferred.
I'm glad our side is finally showing a little pluck, at least.
Are you serious? Grandstanding is what the Establishment has been doing to fool voters by voting for obamacare repeal, for example, with no genuine desire to truly scrap it. What should these senators have done instead?
They should have sent that letter to Obama, not the Iranians.
Agreed.
I do not care what the newspapers say, I know who the traitors are.
The New York Daily News just another red sheet.
Un-patriot games as Senate Republicans undermine President Obama on Iran.
I’m a little surprised that Senator Cotton was able to get more than 18 or 19 Senators to sign with him. We know who’s playing the “UN-patriot games” the same party that’s lead by the guy who wouldn’t face and salute the flag or wear a flag pin because he didn’t want to be seen as “taking sides”. He knew ten who’s side he was on and it isn’t our side. He’s a traitorous, treasonous snake.
If John Kerry did not commit treason during Vietnam, there ain’t no such thing as treason.
No agreement concluded with any Muslim entity is worth the paper on which it is written. Taqiyya...
So the editors are defending a _resident without knowing what they are defending.
It was a warning shot against the bow to the Iranians.
And an incentive for Iran to get fully nuke capable before the change of U.S. administrations. They know we're no threat to them until then. Israel will just have to handle it, and they are more than adequate for the task.
The only way we'll ever get perfect is to wait for the Second Coming.
Americans oppose 0bama’s deal with Iran.
So 0bama is the Traitor.
I agree. What can congress do if an out of control president keeps going around the congress? The congress has no choice but to use their equal power to go around the mad man.
I have no problem with what they did. They should go around the rouge dictator every chance they get. Someone has to stop him from playing king. Who else can do it?
I'm sure I and millions of others agree with you.
The media is mostly liberal. It doesn't matter what they think. Only the idiots believe everything these paid shills tell them.
It doesn't matter what people say. It's what they DO that tells the real story and does the real damage.
Many seem to expect perfection out of a candidate. I don’t, although there are those lines which I will not cross. Illegal immigration, for instance!!!!!!
