On Iran's nuclear, the US Congress seeks to limit the action of Obama

The Senate tries to make difficult the action of the White House, for the resumption of negotiations, scheduled for May 12, that by June 30, should lead to the final signature on the Iranian nuclear issue. A majority of senators, in fact, voted almost unanimously the decision to force the US president to submit any agreement with Tehran on the nuclear issue, reiterating that the Senate can lawfully exercise its control action. The intention is to consider whether any agreement that can be reached with Iran, does not contain facilities for the Shiite town to get to build atomic weapons, after they have been suspended sanctions. Fears of parliamentarians Republicans, shared by some of those Democrats, are to sign an agreement, which makes it impossible to restore the sanctions, if Iran were to make progress in the nuclear field applied to the military sector. This decision is not unexpected, the pre-agreement reached in Lausanne, had disappointed Republicans and those who fear a nuclear escalation by Iran because of the number of centrifuges, the equipment needed to enrich uranium, considered too high and potentially able to allow Tehran to access the technology needed to build atomic devices. After passage in the Senate, the House will, probably next week, to examine the text, which, in all probability, will be approved in this branch of parliament. Obama, by contrast, intends to issue the text without the instructions of Congress, threatening, so, to come to a clash institutional, even if the ratification of the Treaty is not formally required; However, a law designed expressly put in motion a mechanism that allows the Congress blocking application of the Treaty, if this would not be regarded positively. The American President, should then have hearings with parliamentarians about the agreements reached during this period the US executive, would not be able to eliminate any penalty for the Iranian state. After the decision of the Congress would choose between three options: approve the lifting of sanctions, maintain or simply abstain. Only in the latter case, Obama could veto within 12 days, the situation that Congress could further overcome with a time limit of 10 days and a qualified majority of two thirds of the assembly. This majority is considered too high to scuttle the treaty, but if the story will take this conduct the institutional conflict will take a very relevant. This will be a very strong signal of the contradictory feelings that cross the United States on the Treaty on the US nuclear arsenal, even if it threatens to spread to the sector more strictly institutional, covering the relationship between President and Congress. Obama has repeatedly considered the action of the Congress, which should be purely legislative interference in their government action, a relief not just in a presidential system, coming to call it an attempt to reduce the political authority of the first charge of the US state, creating, thus, a possible negative precedent and relief for the next tenant of the White House, engaged in international negotiations. The observation of Obama hits the centrality of institutional figure of US President in his government, questioned, for what are considered only disruptive actions by the opposite party. Seen in this light the work takes on a Republican trying to disqualify the legislative power, although it is partially mitigated by reasons of national interest, also shared by the Democrats. But surpassing the pure partisan division, the fact remains that what fielded by Congress is an attempt to subvert the constitutional order
American, trying to limit the powers of the executive and the legislature.
