That's the law. But Congress is abdicating much of it's power. The SCotUS defers to the WhiteHouse (ex:sides with the admin 90% of the time). The mechanisms that foster ethics in the 3 branches are being intentionally sabotaged by the majority in power.

#5I would campaign that the deal be fulfilled with private money instead of public funds.
(Or, act to show - roots and consequences - that this should be the proper procedure.)

#6Why was it bad for Obama to release much less than this to assure the earlier joint agreement? We heard a lot about how bad that was. Pallets of cash they said, real bad.

What is congress going to do? Say “never negotiate with the US”?
It’s not like congress can very feasibly reject this deal in the end, Iran would just extort the gulf countries and it’d be even harder to sell an intervention.

Iran has been bombed at least twice during negotiations. Surely there is some skepticism that the US will not keep the deal.
There is no winning move -which is why this never should have been started. Congress absolutely can and should reject the deal. I thought we were worried about the deficit? Or is that just when the next guy is in charge?

Because Democrats are held to different standards. I mean just look at the last year.

The article says "funded by the gulf coast coalition" so it doesn't sound like they're planning on asking Congress.
No way congress passes that appropriation. They wouldn't pass the first JCPOA which is why Trump could shred it so easily.
