SENATORS TRY SABOTAGE

Republicans Warn Iran Against Nuclear Deal With Obama


WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) - Republican senators warned Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal made with U.S. President Barack Obama could last only as long as he remains in office, in an unusual intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making.

The letter, signed by 46 U.S. senators, says Congress plays a role in ratifying international agreements and points out that Obama will leave office in January 2017, while many in Congress will remain in Washington long after that.

"We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei," the letter read.

"The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of an agreement at any time," it read.

Guess what, asshats, you will not be controlling the Senate in 2017, so screw off with your appeal to Neanderthal Iowa GOP primary voters.

In the meantime the adults will take care of foreign policy as the Constitution you so love...cough...states.

... conducted by Congress to take over the reins of the Obama
admin and the State Department?

This is a very bad business.
