First, there was the GOP inspired Senate letter to Obama, demanding that he stop his end run around Congress; now, we have a similar letter signed by 360 House members, more than 170 signers being Democrats.

<<< Even his own party is getting of this nonsense  -  that and losing one election after another.  

A bipartisan group of 360 US lawmakers has signed a letter warning President Barack Obama that any sanctions relief on Iran as part of an emerging nuclear deal would require new legislation from Congress.

The letter, signed by a majority of Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives, will be sent to the US president on Thursday, said one of the signatories, according to congressional newspaper The Hill.
"There really cannot be any marginalization of Congress. Congress really needs to play a very active and vital role in this whole process, and any attempts to sidestep Congress will be resisted," Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) said Thursday morning at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
"We would hope that we could get a prompt response from the White House. It's truly a very bipartisan letter expressing Congress' strong feelings about things that need to be in the agreement," he said.
The missive followed a similar one signed by 47 Republican senators on March 9 warning Iran’s leaders that any nuclear deal might be revoked by the next US president   . . . . . . .   read more here
