◼ Forty-seven GOP senators signed an open letter informing the Iranian regime that they will consider any nuclear agreement that Congress does not approve “as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and [supreme leader] Ayatollah Khamenei.” - CNS
“The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time,” stated the letter, initiated by Sen. Tom Cotton, a freshman Republican from Arkansas.◼ HOW TOM COTTON’S IRAN LETTER SETS UP ‘CHECKMATE’ ON OBAMA’S IRAN DEAL - Joel Pollak/Breitbart
Responding to Obama’s jibe about a coalition with “the hardliners in Iran,” Cotton said later, “There are nothing but hardliners in Iran, nothing but hardline Islamic extremists who’ve been killing Americans around the world for 35 years.”
“That’s why Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“If they’ve been the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism for 35 years, imagine what they will do if they have a nuclear umbrella.”
Democrats are pushing back against the letter, circulated by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and signed by 47 Senators in all, that warns the Iranian regime that any deal it signs with President Barack Obama could be voided by the next president if it is not ratified by the Senate under the U.S. Constitution. They have enlisted Vice President Joe Biden and even retired Sen. Richard Lugar to disparage the effort. In so doing, they have proved Cotton’s point–and checkmated the administration.
Shorter: Time after time, Obama has told Congress to go to hell. Now Congress is telling Obama to go to hell. http://t.co/slTGVCPsos

Barry has been circumventing Congress for 6 years; now 47 U.S. senators decided to circumvent Barry. Seems fair. http://t.co/MxGHsz0cFF

.@seanmdav Do environmentalists view Obama as a 'traitor' for negotiating with Iran to build nuclear facilities? Their silence is deafening.
