How dare they try to get in the way of a perfectly good appeasement agreement? The audacity! “Iranian FM Zarif to U.S. Senators: You Are Ignorant Of International Law,” Tehran Times, March 10, 2015:
“ TEHRAN – The Iranian foreign minister on Monday reacted to an open letter to Iran’s leaders by 47 U.S. Republican senators who had warned Tehran that any nuclear deal that the Islamic Republic signs with President Barack Obama’s administration won’t last after Obama leaves office.
Mohammad Javad Zarif said the letter lacks “legal validity” and shows that the signatories of the letter are “ignorant of international law[.]”
“In our view this letter has no legal validity and is just a propaganda scheme,” Zarif noted.
Expressing surprise on how it is possible that the legislators of a country write a letter against their own president and government to the leaders of another country, Zarif said, “The letter by the senators show that not only they are alien to international law but even not familiar with the details of the their own constitution about the authority of the president” in implementing foreign agreements.

His Imperial Majesty Barackula will soon disband that misguided body ...
By sheer coincidence, the BATFE wanted to ban M855/SS109 ammunition.
Coincidence.
Gotta be coincidence ...
It is merely a very loose collection of expressed hopes. No country has true sovereignty over another in this area of “law.”
Yes.
Stop worrying about what others think and do the right thing.
US Constitution, powers of the President
Article 2 section 2,
2. He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;.
Iran has played into the letter writers hands stating that they believe Obama can unilaterally make a binding international treaty for the US.... with the senators who wrote the letter saying “no we have to approve it”.. see above
Here is the pertinent clause (Art II, Section 2, clause 2:
2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur;
note the word “present”. That’s how they slide crap through.

This is an indexed Constitution. I love it.
The 222 rule..if Obama breaks it 3 time...is that 666?
He already has the mark.
Like!
Well Obama did say in a town hall meeting that , He is The Only Law
Iran is now an arbiter of international law violations????
They probably figure Obama has no regard for our constitution anyway, and the people aren’t doing anything about it, so why not? We are being invaded at our borders and Obama is helping the.
What will the people do if Obama did get 2/3 Senate approval to give away ours an Israel’s security?
No Controlling Legal Authority!
Sucks to not be a dictator, ah Obama?
Well this should get the GOP senators off the hook. Clearly, the people negotiating with President Obama were not aware of the political realities of U.S. treaty law. And they need to be schooled further!
Clearly, the people negotiating with President Obama were notFixed.aware ofconcerned about the political realities of U.S. treaty law.
And no enforcement mechanism
Therein lay the makings of a deal.
