Just finished reading a great article by Jeff Babbin about the cost that Obama is willing to pay for his "legacy deal with Iran".
Watching the vicious reaction by the White House and the Democrats over the "letter" I now have no doubt in my mind that arrogant son of a ***** was going to try to go around the Constitution AGAIN over this deal. And AGAIN is the key word here.
He's really skating on thin ice but from all of his reactions to Bibi's speech to going bonkers over the letter it just confirms that he was pulling a "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" move.
Babbin very pointedly brought up that Obama must get two thirds of the Senate vote to ratify this deal. And the very fact that he has not engaged nor involved the Senate during these negotiations means for certain he was just going to go "**** you".
This son of an arrogant ***** really does believe he is King of America.
"Mr. Obama will not submit his
Iran nuclear weapons deal to the Senate for ratification willingly.
But he has no constitutional authority to enter into any agreement with
Iran without it.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution states that he can only do so with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate.
A March 9 letter sent to
Iran by 47 Senate Republicans warned that any executive agreement by Mr. Obama could be set aside by a future president. That was a good start, but it isn’t enough."
Worth the read.
