What could they have been thinking? Bad — Very bad. I demand Court action NOW.!! Unconstitutional on its face.
so before the bill the Senate would say ,Yes or No ,but now they have to pass it to say No and then have Obama sign it to Kill his Deal ,I can see why they want to remove the word Insane
Is there a reason we should take your assessment as accurate?
So are we then to default to Jeb or Christie?
Walker supporter maybe?
Cruz it or lose it.
Who was the one?
Nice vanity. Pending a proposed conservative alternative better than Ted Cruz, IBTZ is an option.
We were trying to figure out how this happened this morning. Thanks for the post.
I find it highly difficult to believe any bill could reduce the requirements for treaty/deal approval from 67 to 34.
I could see deceitful maneuvering to something along the lines of a plurality of votes, but 34? No way.
From Ted Cruz April 24, 2015:

“Congress Must Approve Any Iran Deal”
“As currently written, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 would first require Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval and then require Congress to muster votes from two-thirds of each chamber to override a Presidential veto. What’s more, if Congress failed to act within a set timeframe, the deal would go into effect by default. This process gets the Constitution’s allocation of authority precisely backwards.”
RE: Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul Not Worthy of Presidential Office
Let me guess, by the author’s lights, Barack Obama is EMINENTLY WORTHY of the Presidential Office? (OK got it).
98-1... that tells me there’s more to the story than a half-sentence assessment by someone making sweeping declarations about treason and presidential qualifications. By your moronic way of thinking, Reagan was a traitor, too.
So, my take on this is the only one to support for 2016 is Tom Cotton. All the others running not in the Senate didn’t get a chance to vote ‘yea’ on the Corker bill, and given that the vote was 98-1, with many surprise ‘yes’s, I’ll presume they would have voted with the majority.
I’m still for Cruz.
The thinking was that Obama could’ve enacted the Iran deal as an executive action, and the Corker bill mandated that congress have some roll in its approval. Some is better than none.
The deal is not a treaty and, therefore, was never going to the Senate. That’s why Cotten wrote infamous open letter to Iran that bill is not binding and next President could end it. This bill forces the Senate to weigh in on it. Probably the best of the bad options available to a Senate being ignored by a lawless President.
They need to be impeached
