The President gives the final authority as a treaty is not deemed as ratified until the president signs it (for the second time, unless he appoints a diplomat to sign it at the beginning)...but if 2/3 of the senate do not vote in favor of the treaty, it is shelved until a congress comes in willing to vote in favor of it.2 thirds of the senate is required to ratify a treaty...otherwise it is a personal agreement between two heads of state.Thank you for showing us that you know nothing.If you think this presidunce doesn't need congressional approval of this treaty you know less than everyone.The Iranians know more about our laws than you, tipsy.It was a wise move. The Iranians may not know that action taken without congressional approval only has the force of an executive order which can be revoked by another executive order.
There's nothing wrong with educating Iran about our laws. It's better than thinking they have an agreement when they could wake up to a new pen, a new phone and a brand new eraser.
