The Iran Agreement: A Done Deal?
Follow-up to
this recent post by Pastorius.
From the
Washington Post (July 14, 2015):
"When is a treaty not a treaty?" Stevenson said. "When it's not called a treaty." Otherwise: "There's no other difference."
Not comforting!So Congress reached an agreement with Obama under which it can vote to void any deal that is reached with Iran. With the deal now wrapped up, Congress could vote very soon. Obama's pretty safe, though, because as was clear even when he agreed to allow Congress to vote, he can veto any "no" vote if it passes both chambers in the Republican-controlled Congress. At that point, Republicans would need to get many Democrats to join them to overturn the veto.

The basic thing we want you to take away from this is the difference between a treaty (which has to be approved by the Senate) and an executive agreement (a treaty-except-not-officially-called-that which doesn't have to be approved by the Senate but that sometimes Congress gets to vote on.)

Any braying and boasting about stopping the Iran deal in the upcoming GOP debate on August 6 will mean nothing. UNLESS the next POTUS can and will cancel the executive agreement.
