without congressional oversight.

I know that goes outside of the frame that we must support Obama, but my thinking goes beyond Obama to potential other presidents. Imagine a President Cheney...imagine a President Scott Walker.

I know that our system is screwed by the influence of oligarchs like Sheldon Adelson who have interest in international causes.

But these commitments go beyond one president's authority and term of office As such the nation needs such agreements to have broader support and approval.

an executive agreement is '''binding'''
on only one person ...the President

and even then, he can void the '''agreement'''
with the stroke of a pen

any so called agreement does not give any
authority to the Prez that he did not have before

Which is sort of my point...

It sucks that we have nothing but partisanship but it won't and can't always be this way.

Forget about getting it through the Senate

A tentative deal has been reached by senators on a bill to apply congressional oversight to a nuclear deal with Iran. And early signals from the White House suggest the president will drop his veto threat and sign the measure.
