Concerned,
The Iran deal is bad enough on its own, but now President Obama has
made things even worse by essentially labeling as worthliess the 60
day review of the deal by the U.S.
Under existing law, Congress has 60 days to review and vote on the
deal. But President Obama has bypassed Congress and taken the deal
directly to the United Nations to begin the process of lifting
sanctions.
The outrage here is bipartisan. From
Politico:
"Sens. Bob
Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) said on Thursday afternoon
that they disagreed with the U.S. pushing the agreement through the
UN before Congress votes this September to approve or reject it, a
troubling development for an administration still trying to win over
both men...
...“There was nothing to be lost by
waiting until after the review period was over,” Cardin said in an
interview. “It could be inconsistent [with how Congress votes] and
therefore it would have been better if that had been deferred until
after the 60-day period.”
