An example of President Obama's executive actions I do not agree with comes in the form of the proposed deal with Iran. Treaties must be approved by the Senate, but Secretary of State John Kerry suggests this is not a treaty, but rather an executive agreement.
Are we sidestepping the way the Constitution would have us do this by choosing our own language? Kerry says the agreement would not be binding. I wonder what that means. Does it mean we can go ahead and impose sanctions even though Iran is keeping its part of the deal? Because, if we are obligated to keep our part of the deal, it seems it is binding, and it is a treaty, and the Senate should be allowed to vote on whether to approve it.
