Obama Folds

[Zam-Zam]

U. S. Constitution 1, Obama 0:


WASHINGTON (AP) — Bowing to pressure from Republicans and his own party, President Barack Obama on Tuesday relented to a compromise empowering Congress to reject his emerging nuclear pact with Iran.

The rare and reluctant agreement between the president and the Republican-led Congress came after the White House maintained for weeks that congressional interference could jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Tehran. But lawmakers refused to back down from their insistence that Congress have a formal role in what could be a historic deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the compromise bill shortly after White House spokesman Josh Earnest conveyed the president's decision to sign it.

"Maybe they saw the handwriting on the wall," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the White House dropped its opposition.

Per the attached text, Obama retains the power/right to veto whatever the hell Corker/Boehner legislate. Again....Congress plays we rabble for godamned fools. For what it's worth, Congress won't be blocking a godamned thing, but this lets their saps feel like they could have, if they wanted to.

Awesome. Poor Yobama, playing by constitutional rules seems so difficult for him.

And, if that should occur, Congress will have an opportunity to override his veto. When you consider the fact that some prominent Democrats have opposed the President's high-handed approach to skirting the Constitution, that is not out of the realm of possibilities.

In any event, the mere fact that the President will be forced to obey the law very much against his will is a victory for freedom over tyranny. We can all feel good about that.

Agreed. All elected officials in Washington should play by the rules and follow the Constitution. It's good the President has finally acknowledged his duty to do so.

 

[as seen on tv]

i think the way it works is like this:

president obama sent signals through "key democrats" (schumer?) about what would be acceptable vs unacceptable in a bill of this nature.

i doubt if the bipartisan compromise contains any unexpected elements. obama wants to avoid an open fight with the post-reid democrats, rather than leave a legacy of weakness and disarray now that they're in the minority.
