Letter: President Biden has no business negotiating with Iran – InForum

With all of the horrible happenings in Ukraine and different happenings (open southern border flooding our nation with illegals, full breakdown of legislation and order) it’s disgusting to see President Biden and John Kerry persevering with to barter with one other identified terrorist regime (Iran) on the Iran Nuclear Energy settlement.

Too usually in current a long time now we have skilled presidents from each events signing “Government Orders” that fully disregard the powers of Congress. Somebody new is elected president and the primary day in workplace throws out the actions of the prior administration with none Congressional motion and even oversight.

So again to the Iran Nuclear Deal, Article II, Part 2 of the U.S. Structure states:
[2] He shall have Energy, by and with the Recommendation and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, offered two-thirds of the Senators current concur; and…....”
The Structure may be very blunt, any treaty the president proposes to enter into requires the Recommendation and Consent of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate in session.

A basic instance of the Senate’s energy is when on Nov. 19, 1919, the Senate voted 55-38 to defeat President Wilson’s request to ratify the Versailles Peace Treaty and be part of the League of Nations. The Senate in January 1920 voted a second time 55-39 to reject membership within the League of Nations. We don’t have to debate the outcomes of that vote, however it was carried out by Constitutional mandate.

Biden, Kerry and the U.S. Senate should all take the time to learn and observe the Structure of our nation earlier than claiming to have entered into any treaty with Iran or different international locations, whether or not buddy or foe. I’m forwarding this letter to U.S. Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer asking them to advise me of their understanding of Article II, Part 2 of our Structure.
