Well Obama has been trying to call this deal an Executive Agreement instead of a treaty. So to do an Executive Agreement he does not have to go through the ratification process. This put the Congress in a situation of what to do about it.

Congress could have just let Obama go forward with his agreement and as far as I know they could have refused to take off the sanctions, refused to fund any part of it and killed it off that way. But they decided to do this convoluted legislation which in fact as Mark Levin pointed out waters down their ratification powers on treaties. A treaty as we all know requires 67 votes to ratify.

So at this point Congress appears to be treating the Iran nuclear deal like a treaty with a new watered down authority to approve or disapprove it.

The whole thing was ill conceived and the vote for this POS Iran nuclear legislation was 98-1 so that gives you a good idea of the judgement of most of the Senate. Now its going to take 67 votes to kill it instead of 67 votes to pass it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

So you think it would have been better with no input from Congress? The President has the authority to make this executive agreement on his own. At least now Congress has some input.
