OH REALLY? – AT 10:14 A.M. ET:  And to think, I believed we actually had a functioning Constitution.  Silly me.  From CNS: 

(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday declined to “get into” what negotiators are proposing to the Iranians in the nuclear talks, and defended the president’s authority to execute foreign policy, saying he did not believe a negotiated agreement should go through a “formal approval process” by Congress.

“I don’t think there ought to be a formal approval process,” he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, adding that the administration was consulting with Congress and that lawmakers would ultimately have to vote on lifting sanctions on Iran.

“You certainly have a right to have whatever hearings and whatever further examinations you want to have, if a deal is struck,” he said in response to questions by Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.). “I mean, that’s your prerogative at any point in time. And ours is to respond to you.”

Asked by Gardner whether he believed then that Congress should have “no other role or feedback” apart from hearings, Kerry said, “No, I believe this falls squarely within the executive power of the president of the United States in the execution of American foreign policy.”

COMMENT:  A nuclear weapon in Iran's hands is an existential threat to many of America's allies in the region and a dire threat to the United States itself.  You would think that a responsible president would want to involve the Congress at every stage.

But we don't have a responsible president.  He have a hardened left winger with a silver tongue, with a soft spot in his heart for Islamic regimes. 

Congress can, though, raise an uproar and alert the American people.  Public opinion polls matter in Washington, and if the people of this country turn decisively against Obama's foreign policy excursions, even Democrats will have to listen.  We hope it won't be too late.
