Excerpts:
"The letter signed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and 46 of his colleagues warned Tehran that any nuclear deal needs congressional approval in order to last beyond Obama's term and pointed out that without that step, all Iran would be left with is a "mere executive agreement" between Obama and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The letter added, "We hope this letter enriches your knowledge of our constitutional system and promotes mutual understanding and clarity as nuclear negotiations progress.""

...

"Cotton defended the letter in an interview with ABC News, saying "It's the job of the president to negotiate but it's the job of Congress to approve ... We're simply trying to say that Congress has a constitutional role to approve any deal, to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Not today, not tomorrow, not ten years from now."

Excerpt:
""Many Iran experts say that Iran's leaders don't understand our Constitution," Cotton said. "So they need to understand that under our Constitution, Congress plays a very important role of approving international agreements. And any deal that isn't approved by the Congress won't be accepted by the Congress, now or in the future.""

There you have it. No big deal. All the Senators did, was to inform Tehran that any agreement would still have to be voted on. "Many Iran experts say that Iran's leaders don't understand our Constitution."
They just wanted to help!!!

4. "Keeping the public from noticing" is more dangerous than lying. The Corporate Media is evil, recall Iraq.

5. Fox News is not a news organization

Fox News is an arm of the GOP and this is to be expected

6. Cotton and the others don't realize that Iran's

Cabinet was largely educated at US universities. I suspect they well-understand the process of getting a treaty approved.
