Obama Administration Won't Release Full Iran Deal to Congress

#12  'Tis an "impeachable offense", among many, I believe.

OTOH, "NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON", as the saying goes.

Personally, as a Madonna Fan + Guamnaian residing in GUAM-WESTPAC I'm more interested in Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama's deals or concessions vee CHINA - DITTO AS PER ANY SIMILAR GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR(S).

IFF GOD, NOSTRADAMUS, MADONNA, VIRGIN MARY, GUAM TAOTAMONAS, TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROIDS + LATE HUGO CHAVEZ'S BIRD ARE CORRECT, ITS THE US' HOLDING OF GUAM VERSUS THE US' SURRENDER OF GUAM [sinking] THAT WILL DE FACTO "MAKE-OR-BREAK" US POWER IN THE WORLD + OWG-NWO.

The nominal or surreal, de jure or de nomina
"weak/declining" US will devol into the DE FACTO "WEAK/DECLINING" US THE DAY THE US DECIDES TO SINK GUAM + OTHER PACIFIC ISLES IN ORDER THEIR MILPOL UTILITY TO CHINA [or Nuclear Islam] IN SELF-PRESERVING, COVER/SAVE-MY-OWN-ASS "A2/AD" = ANTI-ACCESS/AREA-DENIAL.

WHEN THE PYWAR = DIPLOMATIC, GEOPOL "MIND GAMES" TURNS "REAL".

#11  Yes it would require an amendment. Which means everyone who voted for this law, is complicit in Obama's treason. If we had a real attorney general and court system, we'd have alot of public officials on death row

#10  The reason congress passed Corker's Cork-up bill is so they can 'claim' to vote against the treaty but actually vote for it. "so sorry - we don't have the votes to override the Veto."

Question: Can Congress simply pass on its responsibility like that? The constitution says 'Congress shall..' - shouldn't it require an admendment to overcome that 'shall'?

#9  People - you miss one important fact: Congress, via GOP Senator Bob Corker's bill, gave up its right to refuse this by passing a law (endorse by McConnel and Boehner) ceding power to Obama to make this deal and it can only be overridden by a 2/3 vote of BOTH houses.

Don't like the treaty? Blame Obama. Don't like that they cant take a simple voter per the Constitution? Blame the GOP leadership in DC for rolling over and begging to take up up the *ss.

The GOP leadership in DC is to blame for not having the guts to oppose this tyrannical transnational progressive. They have a majority and are afraid to use it.

#8  Does anyone really doubt that he has passed the bar for impeachment hearings? A Congress with an actual commitment to their oath of office , or for that matter an Attorney General who was actually faithful to theirs, would have already started impeachment/investigations for malfeasance in office and failure to enforce the law across a wide spectrum of unconstitutional actions or failures to act. The depth of cowardice in our elected Congress cannot be overstated I'm afraid. SO this Imperial President will continue to expand his reach as his sense of the end of his Presidency grows. I continue to wonder how far pardon/clemency/commutation acts will go?

#7  EU, that's reason enough to try him for treason.

#6  If he won't disclose the whole deal that's reason enough to reject it.

#5  Obama has acted as if he is not bound by the Constitution for quite some time.

Congress has acted as if Obama is not bound but the Constitution either.

About the only 'peer' he might have is the 9 Black Robed princes of the Supreme Court.

#4  Rambler. That does not telle me why he is not purging time.

#3  Then its non-binding on subsequent administrations or governments. The facade of the ritual of approval does not extend 'legality' when elements of a 'deal' are not fully disclosed.

#2  JFM, yes, according to the Constitution, the Senate must ratify treaties. However, Obama has acted as if he is not bound by the Constitution for quite some time.
