In reply to the discussion: Obama Strikes Historic Deal With Iran; GOP Loses Collective Sh*t [View all]libpride_15
(32 posts)Even if cowardly Democrats override a veto, Obama should proceed with the historic Iran deal.
The powers of the Presidency should not be abridged by a Congress whose only alternative would be War.
After June 30, UN sanctions should be relaxed regardless of Congress' meddling. They have no say in the matter.
Obama has actions permitted to temporarily waive sanctions as well.
The only way this is derailed, IMO, is if Iran gets the impression we aren't serious about sanctions relief.
US sanctions relief can come later, after Iran proves itself.
Even if the Supreme Court ruled it an impeachable offense to ignore a Congressional mandate, I say let them try to get it done in under two years.
Nixon didn't beg Congress to allow an opening to China, after all.
As John Lennon sang, "Give Peace a Chance".
