and everybody is bound by it. until that happens, it s just an agreement between two human beings. often treaties begin with these executive agreements. you kno the president himself said it s a long journey and this is the first couple of steps. ainsley: congress will see this and will either pass it or not. judge: i doubt it i don t think the president will submit i to congress until he has something more final and complete and that depends on secretary pompeo and former colleague ambassador bolton. brian: clearly just the beginning. one thing ambassador chris hill tried to do this deal a while ago and failed. he said there needs to be an action document along with this. one thing they said they drafted. didn t put the word verified in there. that would have helped. judge: also would have helped if they agreed to end the korean war. you can t get everything. you can t get everything all at once. we are talking during the break, i could not agree with sean hannity more. donald trump l
fragility of big international agreements that are not treaties. there are lots and lots of executive agreements made by presidents of other countries. using that on something this major and of course that meant that all it was was an agreement between the previous president and the iranians and the othern partners in the deal, which means that this president had the options that he has that exercise, which is to announce the deal and reimpose theti sanctions. tucker: the obama people must be furious. they really spend a lot of time, effort and i would say brushed aside critical american interests to get this deal. the reason of course why it isn t a treaty is the administration knew there was no chance of the world it could pass the senate. by the significant enough margin if any margin at all that it could be put into effect. they did it the only way they could. think of this. he did a lot of things with his
what i think it does show is the fragility of big international agreements that are not treatie treaties. there are lots and lots of executive agreements made by presidents of other countries. using that on something this major and of course that meant that all it was was an agreement between the previous president and the iranians and the other partners in the deal, which means that this president had the options that he has that exercise, which is to announce the deal and reimpose the sanctions. tucker: the obama people must be furious. they really spend a lot of time, effort and i would say brushed aside critical american interests to get this deal. the reason of course why it isn t a treaty is the administration knew there was no chance of the world it could pass the senate. by the significant enough margin if any margin at all that it could be put into effect. they did it the only way they could. think of this.

previously held that existing u.s. statutes trump executive agreements. i can tell you, however, that we are confident and the secretary is confident that the administration has the authority to follow through on this commitment. during a senate banking committee confirmation hearing in september for zubin, nominated as undersecretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence, republican senator tom cotton of arkansas asked where the obama administration thinks it derives the legal authority to reopen the foreign sub loop hohole in terms of the iran threat reduction act that provision contains the licensing authority that treasury would anticipate using in that eventuality to allow for certain categories. of activity for those foreign subsidiaries. the administration points to a different passage in the president s 2012 law, section 601. which in turn invokes an earlier statute, one signed into law by president jimmy carter in 1977 that grants the president this kind o
