(Or, act to show - roots and consequences - that this should be the proper procedure.)
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.
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.
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?
Congress can only sabotage deals like this at an immense cost to the US’s future ability to negotiate anything with anyone, and it certainly can’t sabotage it’s way into a more favourable deal.
No way congress passes that appropriation. They wouldn't pass the first JCPOA which is why Trump could shred it so easily.
No way congress passes an appropriation you just invented, which even the most optimistic Iranian propagandists are not claiming to be happening?
I mean yeah. Most random things you can come up with are likely to be things that congress will never pass.
