Quote:Everyone is overthinking this.


Only Congress, namely the senate can approve of defeat treaties. Remember Woodrow Wilson? He was very proud of his League of Nations and wanted the treaty of Versailles approved but despite his efforts the Senate voted it down. History doesn't call them traitors.


Even if you disagree with it, the Congressman who signed it are right, they are the ones who get the final say.

Yes that's where the republicans can and honestly I expect them to vote down any treaty Obama proposed with Iran that allowed nuclear development. But that's not what they did, there's no treaty to vote for.


I'd expect to congress not to fund any back door negotiation either, for example if Obama got cute and said well were not signing a treaty but we have an understanding Iran you do ___ well let you develop nuclear technology and will give you ____ aid. I'd expect congress to not fund it.


Anyway Obama slices it congress would have their chance to review it and decide what to do, but that's not what's happened.


Just like Obama can't create legislation by executive order, congress can't negotiate with foreign nationals. It's like the entire damn government is ignoring the constitution, that's something to be worried about.
