1. TREATY: Iran
This was not a personal 'deal' between Obama and Iran - it was a TREATY, an UN-Constitutional Treaty he put together, signed, then rant to the UN with it to have it certified before even letting Congress look at it. I don't care what snowflakes try to call it - it was a violation of the Constitution. If it was a 'personal deal' between Iran and Obama, that 'deal' is officially OVER because Obama is no longer President.

Under the Constitution, the president is the federal official that is primarily responsible for the relations of the United States with foreign nations.
The president may also negotiate
executive agreements with foreign powers that are not subject to Senate confirmation

Wiki: executive agreement
An
executive agreement is an agreement between the
heads of government of two or more nations that has not been ratified by the
legislature as
treaties are ratified. Executive agreements are considered
politically binding to distinguish them from
treaties which are
legally binding. An
executive agreement is one of three mechanisms by which the
United States enters into binding international agreements. They are considered
treaties by some authors as the term is used under
international law in that they bind both the United States and a foreign
sovereign state. However, they are not considered treaties as the term is used under United States Constitutional law, because the
United States Constitution's treaty procedure requires the advice and consent of two-thirds of the
Senate, and these agreements are made solely by the
President of the United States. Some other nations have similar provisions with regard to the ratification of treaties
