"Clearly"? U.S. Senators are part of "the authority of the United States"; they are members of the arm of Congress that is supposed to consent to any substantive agreement with a foreign power, and I'd certainly call a nuke "deal" with Iran a major agreement. Therefore, it's hard to see how they could violate the Logan Act by writing an open letter to Iran's mullahs.
And, again, if you're outraged because you think 47 Republican Senators violated the Logan Act, are you also outraged that Obama indisputably violated the U.S. Constitution by granting amnesty via executive order, by trying to ban certain types of ammo via executive order, by contemplating raising taxes by executive order? Let me guess: Your newly found passion for following the law, not to mention the Constitution, does not apply to anything that Obama does, right?
