When is a treaty not a treaty? Obama wants the deal between Iran and the US to be an "understanding?" One that does not have to be agreed to by the Senate? Just the UN?
The basic definition of a treaty:
an agreement or arrangement made by negotiation:
The legal definition:
A treaty is an agreement in written form between nation-states that is intended to establish a relationship governed by International Law.
Kerry said,
"We've been clear from the beginning. We're not negotiating a 'legally binding plan.' We're negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement," he said at a Senate hearing.
What is a plan that will have a capacity for enforcement but a legally binding plan? This administration plays loosely with semantics and has been getting away with it far too long. This is a treaty that needs to be voted on by the Senate and they need to see that uranium will not be enriched. Something that Obama says is impossible. So Obama is going to give them the keys to nuclear oblivion.
