Many people on FR do not understand the difference between a Treaty and an Executive Agreement or even what an Executive Agreement is.

An Executive Agreement really designed as far as I know for an agreement between us and one other country. Anytime you have 5 countries engaged in an agreement with another its a treaty and Congress should IMO just have dug in its heels and insisted that this Iran Nuclear Deal was a treaty and would have to be ratified or else they would not allow any of it to be funded. There are many things they could have done to stop this deal from going forward. Instead in a moment of insanity they passed this watered down ratification process which is totally unconstitutional.

0bama disregards your opinion on these definitions. As does the majority ‘leader’.
