Committee on Foreign AffairsIntroducedJuly 23rd, 2015
According to the Library of Congress, "executive agreements" are treaties under international law. Therefore the Senate should have to confirm this "agreement." Let's do this the right way.
Republicans are dangerous and said it was bad before they even read it. Let diplomacy work. It always has in the past. If it doesn't then we get everything back and Iran suffers even more. We loose NOTHING in this deal. Stop warmongering.
Let's follow the Constitution, shall we? If this is going to bind the U.S., then this is a law, and if this is a law, it should be a treaty. I'm surprised this agreement has not been treated as such. Even the SALT and START agreements were treaties. Let's do it right, let's follow the Constitution.
Anything that commits our country to terms with another country IS a treaty.
It is too important that the Iran deal goes through for the safety of the U.S., the Middle East & everyone else for it to be jeopardized by a procedural move to defeat it. So the answer is HELL NO!!
Yes!! This is another instance where Dear Leader has acted as a dictator, as he has on many issues. This boondoggle should have been a treaty from the beginning. The Mullah in the White House knew it would never pass as a treaty, hence an agreement to bypass the American people. I PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING BILL: If in the next 25 years Iran uses a nuclear device against Israel, the United States, or ANY area outside their borders, charges of TREASON will be levied against the following people: Barrack Obama, Joseph Biden, John F Kerry, and all politicians who voted or supported this criminal act. Please explain to me how any politician who has taken an oath to defend this nation can in good conscience support this purely political garbage. Traitors all.
The power of foreign policy rests with the executive; congress treaty making and declarations of war powers are not applicable to executive orders.
IT IS A TREATY. REMOVAL OF SANCTIONS, INSPECTIONS, ETC... How it was EVER considered anything else is unbelievable...
This is just the latest GOP tactic to try to pull us into yet another war.
This is a treaty. The constitution requires that the executive branch have the approval of the Senate.
This deal is more proof Obama IS an Islamic terrorist and is doing everything he can to destroy America. Why the fuck can't somebody arrest this fucking criminal already and throw his ass in prison for TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell are you people doing there in DC? Every god damn one of you needs to be tossed out on your ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this proposal should go through the proper motions. With that being said, I think it would still pass regardless.
Nuclear weapons are a huge deal to be put on by one or two people a whole Congress or your whole ruling body should have to vote on them
The congress needs to begin to reassert itself against an executive that is looking more and more like a tyrannical monarchy.
Any agreement with a foreign country should be treated as a treaty. That's what an agreement between nations is. It should also have to pass through the Senate, and only the Senate.
