NotARINOFaggot:

The '''Corker Law''', officially known as Bipartisan Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act and informally still called the "Corker bill," is a misguided federal law that circumvents the [[Treaty Clause]] in the [[U.S. Constitution]], and essentially requires not a 2/3rds vote to ratify a foreign treaty, but a 2/3rds vote to reject one (in order to override a presidential veto). In other words, the Corker law replaces the Treaty Clause with respect to Iran such that a majority vote in Congress can reject the deal, but the president can then reject the congressional vote, which would require a 2/3rds vote by each house of Congress to override the veto.

Only one senator voted against this law: [[Tom Cotton]], who explains that it violates the Constitution. He explained:<ref>http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/241355-senate-votes-to-approve-Iran-review-bill</ref>
{{cquote|A nuclear-arms agreement with any adversary—especially the terror-sponsoring, Islamist Iranian regime—should be submitted as a treaty and obtain a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate as required by the Constitution.}}
Disappointingly, Senator's [[Ted Cruz]] and [[Rand Paul]] voted for the Corker bill.

== Background ==

Senator [[Bob Corker]], a [[RINO]] from [[Tennessee]], introduced this bill as a compromise with respect to the proposed deal being negotiated by the [[Obama Administration]] with [[Iran]].

== Constitutionality ==

The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] has never addressed the constitutionality of this approach.

Liberal faggot Karajou loves Bob Corker.
