The Iran “Deal”

How to clean up after it:

The Iran deal is not a treaty and has no constitutional status. Congress should declare, and try to get a court to declare, that President Obama has no authority to lift sanctions in Iran because he failed to comply with the Iran Nuclear Review Act he signed earlier this year—specifically, the legal requirement that he show to Congress the entire agreement including “side agreements” like the one between Iran and the IAEA.

There are other steps to take. Gen. Michael Hayden, a former CIA director, has suggested an immediate congressional authorization for the use of force if Iran violates the deal; beefing up U.S. defenses in a meaningful way; and perhaps providing Israel with the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. This “bunker buster” could penetrate even the underground Iranian enrichment facility at Fordow, which is suitable principally for creating an atomic weapon.

But, of course, that would require an administration that doesn’t preemptively take all military options off the table.

I know that people are angry that the Republicans let this atrocity go through, but until they have 67 votes to remove the president, he’s going to continue to ignore the law and the Constitution. It wasn’t a “victory” for Obama to fail to ge majority support for this in either House. Particularly with so much Democrat opposition. At least by having that vote they put the Democrats on record. Everyone who failed to oppose this owns Iran, now.
