If the Senate already has the Constitutional authority to ratify a treaty but they are requesting, via this bill, for the authority to review the arrangement with Iran, they have tacitly accepted that said arrangement is not a treaty.

1. There is no "if". The Senate has the authority.

2. Since when did the action of any legislative body become a "request"?

3. How is the power to define the word "treaty" ceded to the Excutive? Does not the co-equal Legislative have the same power?

#3 sums up my interest in the matter as a way for Congress to assert it Constitutional role.

You realize you're addressing your questions to the wrong party.

Bob Corker and Mitch McConnell are the guys you need to talk to.
