Obama Under Fire President Obama continues to find himself under intense pressure
from Congressional leaders as he continues his efforts to garner
support for a deal with Iran over nuclear weapons. Though he spent the
weekend trying to convince congressional leaders that this was a, "once
in a lifetime experience," it's becoming increasingly clear that members
from both sides of the aisle aren't quite sure.
I have been trying to use every outlet I can to remind the American
people that this negotiation with Iran is equal parts foolish and
un-American. While there is certainly the power of Executive Agreement,
our founding father's could never have thought of something this
important not falling to Congress for approval.
Republicans in Congress need to be forceful and loud here, they need to
drive home the point that the American people need a voice when being
asked to forfeit their future security. |

When Should Congress Be Involved?
Washington is ablaze with debate on just what role the Senate should play in negotiations with Iran. The University of Michigan
did a study that found from 1839 to 1889, 52.9% of all international
agreements were Executive Agreement. That has risen to nearly 94.3%.
What does all of this say about Washington? Granted, the world is an
ever-evolving complicated mess of international relationships but there
is a reason why we have a Constitution and there's a reason why we need
to involve as many smart minds as possible. I haven't always defended
Congress but, in this case, they need a say in what's going on. |
