Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, said Sunday on Fox News that the legislation that would force Preisdent Barack Obama to bring a deal on Irans nuclear program before the Senate is close to achieving the support of a veto-proof majority.
The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, sponsored by US Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), would mandate that the president submit to Congress the text of any pact with Iran, and bar the administration from suspending congressional sanctions on Iran for 60 days.

[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur... Aaah, that thing was written by old dead white guys...

Of course, Obama -- as lawless as he is -- will see this bill, veto it, be overridden, and proceed anyways. DARING someone to stop him.
Call it "The Mask" Presidency
Of course, the GOP (Give Obama Permission) Party won't do a bloody thing...

That is one of the reasons DoJ finally went after Menendez. They are punishing him for going against the one.

It’s not for a treaty, its for a bill forcing the president to
to do some explaining. Also prevent lifting of sanctions.
To: Libloather
The DoJ is nothing more than part of the Chicago machine.

There are treaties and then there are Executive Agreements. Obama is trying to basically do a treaty but call it an Executive Agreement so he avoids advise and consent by the Senate.
So now the Senate is trying to wrest back control by passing a piece of legislation for this particular instance. Its just cat and mouse but they have to do something or the guy is going to put the plane into the side of the mountain.

Well, Bob,
The other day, I was just 2 to 3 cards short of a royal flush, but I didn’t go on Fox News over it.
