I wonder if you guys even know what the letter said. Obama is trying to make a deal with Iran without getting any input form congress. It's not just the republicans in congress that are against this deal. Plenty of democrats are against it including the highest ranking democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
So Obama is trying to make this deal by executive action, meaning that congress has no input. Congress is totally against the deal. When something like this is done by executive action, congress can't stop it. But once Obama leaves office, the next administration can nix the deal with the strike of a pen. That is the negative about doing a deal by executive action.
Anyway, all the 47 Senators did in their letter was to explain this to Iran. They explained to Iran how the law works here. They explained to them that this deal is being done by executive action without the support of congress and that the next administration can nix the deal.
You guys believe all the hysterics written by the liberal media when in fact the letter simply explained the law to Iran. I think it is a good thing that Iran understands that. If Obama was smart, he would only make the deal with congressional approval and get them to sign off on it. Then the next administration would not be able to nix the deal. He won't do that because he can't even get support from senate democrats for the deal, because it is obviously a bad deal.
With regard to one of you that said this is like treason, if anyone is committing treason, it would be the person trying to make this deal against the wishes of both republicans and democrats in congress.
