Obama: If Congress Blocks My Iran Deal, I’ll Ignore The Law & Do It Anyway
Right Wing News ^ | 07-31-2015 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

How very fascist. So, Obama is saying that if Congress doesn’t play ball on approving the Iran deal, he might just go ahead and do it anyway. That violates the Constitution and the law. Technically he can’t do it – oh, but he will. Notice how Kerry sidestepped the issue? If Obama does this and isn’t made to answer for it or stopped, that’s the end of our Constitutional Republic and the actual beginning of a dictatorship.

Oh, did I mention that any funds spent on the ‘deal’ are subject to congressional approval or disapproval?

That is an excellent point. If congress does not approve of it, that's it, right. There is no veto process involved.

If it doesn’t require new spending of money, he doesn’t need the congress’s approval.
If it uses funds as previously authorized than the congress can’t block him except by changing previous law. Which he can veto.

I'm speechless why this man is not behind bars.

Most Americans just don't get it. King Obama is America's first dictator and is in complete control. The Senate, House and Supreme Court have no power and cannot stop him. He is now in a position to totally defy the American people and does not answer to them. Get used to it. It will get worst on his third, forced, term.

He has been outside the law from the minute he usurped the office. Our Constitutional Republic ceased on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when we swore in as President an ineligible man.
He has done as he pleased irrespective of the law.

Most of the frozen Iranian funds have already been released. Once it is all back, we will never be able to freeze their funds again.

Iran is already selling oil on the open market.

Sorry, but it does not matter if the deal gets approved, it is already enacted.

I am speaking of the difference between a simple majority versus a super majority over a veto.

What are our options for removal of a clearly traitorous president when Congress refuses to do so?

From TheBlaze:

Following a White House meeting, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) seemingly suggested this week that President Barack Obama might be prepared to go “beyond what’s allowed by law” to push through the Iran nuclear deal.

The Hill reported Wednesday that Sherman said Obama appeared ready to ignore Congress if members don’t sign off on the deal. The comments came after the president invited top Democrats to the White House to give them a personal presentation on the Iran deal.

“The main meat of what he said is, ‘If Congress overrides my veto, you do not get a U.S. foreign policy that reflects that vote. What you get is you pass this law and I, as president, will do everything possible to go in the other direction,’” Sherman said, according to The Hill.

“He’s with the deal — he’s not with Congress,” the California congressman added. “At least to the fullest extent allowed by law, and possibly beyond what’s allowed by law.”

According to The Hill, Sherman suggested Obama may just refuse to enforce the law.

Sherman, who has appeared skeptical of the deal, previously grilled Secretary of State John Kerry about whether the administration would follow the “law” if Congress moved to override a veto to block the deal.

Lots of "IF's" "may's" and speculation in there.

Anything done by executive order can be undone by executive order.

Not so! The executive order have changed America so much that to reverse them will cause riots the likes America has never seen.

Why he’s just supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States. /s

What would possibly make us think an illegal immigrant would pay attention to our laws?

The money, if released, will be in the wind. Unable to be captured again. That’s what Iran really wants anyway.
