this is not a treaty. what is your reaction to how they have handled it and what options they may have available to them? we re going to have a conga line of senate republicans decrying this deal. when they knew this deal was going to be a disaster from the leaks from the iranensians. they surrendered the treaty power under the constitution to obama. so now rather than needing 2/3 of the senators present to ratify a treaty all obama needs is one third of the senators. he said he s going to veto any changes that may come any challenges that may come. the reason the treaty provision is in the constitution alexander hamilton made it clear. it cannot be left to one man to engage the nation in such a historic and important and broad based global agreements without more than one man and one administration opining on it.
