Hi again yekcidmij,
You don't find it a bit presumptuous to 'know' what I know? I wasn't really interested in hearing the age old complaint that partisan politics is the only thing that prevented the agreement from being ratified. Yes, President Obama agreed to an agreement that was also agreed to by a half dozen other involved nations. I don't find that to be some terrible issue.
In researching this issue of ratification, I don't find any hard evidence that such an agreement had to be ratified by congress in order to be agreed to by the United States administration. I also find such a complaint to be particularly rich coming from people who support a current leadership that thinks nothing of going against the present congress and trying to subvert their place in the processes of our laws by merely issuing EOs to have things done.
Congress, as a group, has clearly told President Trump that he can't have the money for his wall. Yet, President Trump issued an EO declaring that we were suffering some emergency condition which enabled him to take the money already earmarked for other issues and subvert such monies to the building of his wall. These people are decrying a reasonably questionable complaint that congress had to ratify the JCPA?
Sounds particularly 'iffy' to me.
God bless,
In Christ, ted
