Is Obama violating the law: Iran Sanctions Act passed by Congress and signed by him i

[Sallow]

So now striking a deal with Iran is violating the law? Holy shit, Staph, you are one bitter, hateful person.

Given that the President is the major foreign policy lead in this government..

Eyah.

This is an extremely weird thread.

Section 2.

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

Executive orders were only of ministerial actions. Never were they supposed to replace Congressional action. Any executive order can be voided by another executive signing an executive order. That's why they have been used only for ministerial functions. The agreement with Iran is not an executive order. It is a state department agreement. Which comes under an entirely different area of law.

The Kerry agreement with Iran is causing the entire middle east to destabilize now. It will blow apart before too much longer. Whether the agreement was legal or not will become unimportant.

 

[AceRothstein]

There's not going to be any war on Iran, get over it.

Certainly not by a weak-kneed apologist which is wot we got just now. Now whether some other Middle East country decides enough is enough, well that's a pig of a different odor. Maybe NOT Israel when it comes.

Is he weak kneed or a war mongerer? One day he's one and the next the other. You guys need to make up your minds.

Stephanie is hardly a bitter, hateful person, just a smart one. She, like most of us can see a bad deal when presented with it.

You serious? http://www.usmessageboard.com/polit...-s-scandals-misdeeds-crimes-and-blunders.html

(4) The serious and urgent nature of the threat from Iran demands that the United States work together with its allies to do everything possible—diplomatically, politically, and economically—to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.

No the President is not breaking the law.

 

[Katzndogz]

The United States does not work with allies. It betrays its allies. It has since obama took office.

Beware of snakes bringing apples as gifts, especially the Iranian Snake and Barry The Snake Oil Salesman himself.

"Lookie! Lookie! Lookie what I brought you new and shiny today, this bright new 6.66 ounce bottle of Marx & Alynski Snake oil. Cures gout, hangover, club foot, cleft palate, deafness, blindness, the palsy, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, diabetes, insanity, baldness, hirsutism and if for any reason you're not satisfied in 30 days or less, bring it back and we'll charge you triple. Period! Guaranteed!"

Is Obama violating the law: Iran Sanctions Act passed by Congress and signed by him in 2010?

Care to explain how he is violating the Act, other than copying and pasting a post from some Freeper which in no way demonstrates he is?

From the thing you copied and pasted, Stephanie:

The serious and urgent nature of the threat from Iran demands that the United States work together with its allies to do everything possible—diplomatically, politically, and economically—to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability.

 

[g5000]

Not all of the sanctions against Iran are Congressional sanctions. Many of them are sanctions imposed by Executive Order, and thus can be rescinded by Executive Order, or the President can simply stop enforcing them.

However, if Iran begins to observe its part of the bargain, Congress can be a bag of dildos and decide to not rescind those sanctions over which it has control. Or it can be an even bigger bag of dildos by deciding to add all kinds of other conditions onto the removal of sanctions, above and beyond agreements made by the Executive.

There are demagogues who do not want to remove sanctions under any conditions that would result in Obama looking good. These fuckheads will put Party over country and will muck up the process as much as possible.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

There's not going to be any war on Iran, get over it.

Conservative American and Israeli aggression against Iran is the reason they have a nuclear program anyway. Quit the bluster, the saber rattling, invading Iran's neighbors, placing sanctions on Iran.

No wonder they want a nuclear weapon.

One can tell you know little about the Middle East and less about Iran.

The depth of his ignorance is astounding.

 

[bodecea]

He went after Osama bin Laden and got him. Right in the heart of a muslim country that has nuclear weapons too.

You mean when he violated an ally's air space without notifying them? Besides, we've never seen any proof that Osama was killed. No body. No nothing. Only the word of a non-natural born Citizen never Constitutionally eligible to hold the office of the presidency.

"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will."

But do I understand you correctly in that you support Pakistan's right to harbor 9-11 terrorists over the United States rights to go after them?

Another one on the Right tearful about OBL being killed by our SEAL team.
