Republicans warn Iran against nuclear deal with Obama

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican senators warned Iran on Monday that any nuclear deal made with U.S. President Barack Obama could last only as long as he remains in office, in an unusual intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making.

The letter, signed by 47 U.S. senators, says Congress plays a role in ratifying international agreements and points out that Obama will leave office in January 2017, while many in Congress will remain in Washington long after that.

"We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei," the letter read.

"The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of an agreement at any time," it read.

A lot of bluster over a deal that hasn't been made yet. On the other hand, the Senate does get to ratify any treaty the President negotiates. Does something called a "deal" or an "agreement" not ratified by the Senate have the same durability as one that is? Is the President's word not good enough in Bilateral or Multilateral negotiations? Do any "deals" really expire once he leaves office, without the consent of two-third of the Senate?

It all depends on how Hillary is viewed next year.
