The Corker-Menendez bill allows Congress to shirk their Constitutional duty.

As Andrew McCarthy points out, “…no international agreement can be binding unless it achieves (a prescribed) Congressional endorsement…”

The burden of achieving any agreement with Iran falls on the President, who must gain congressional approval through super-majority Senate approval, or legislation.

Corker’s bill is a thinly-veiled back-door escape hatch, posing as ‘tough love’.

While it has the appearance of forcing a Congress review of any White House deal, what it does is actually endorse the deal if Congress fails to act on it promptly.

Thus, as McCarthy points out, the bill shifts the constitutional burden from Obama to achieve congressional approval…AND hides the Senate’s dereliction of duty.

There are way too many lawyers on Capitol Hill…and not enough statesmen.
