The Iran "Deal" was never an Iran Treatise. Treatises are ratified by our Senate. To my memory, Barack knew his agreement with Iran would never pass Senate confirmation, so he didn't even try. That nonsense of his having "his pen and his phone," allowed him to pretend to be a dictator, working without any accounting to Congress or the will of the people.
Barack had two domestic bills as part of his legacy.
One was ObamaCare, a bill passed by Congress and signed into law in March of 2010, whose every major point (you can keep your doctor, you can keep your hospital, you will save 2500 dollars in the first year of its passage, it is not a tax, it will not add a dime to your taxes) proved to be nothing less than a pack of outrageous, in your face, lies. None of that "you can keep" crap was true, no one saved a dime, and it was defended before the Supreme Court AS A TAX. But it was legislation, and for that reason, we have to deal with it today.
The second domestic legacy bill, was the Dodd/Frank banking/finance bill (legislative title: Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ) , was signed into law in July of 2010. Its mountain of regulations resulted in the failure of more small banks and savings and loan institutions than were created for the first time in American history. Recent legislation has moved banking entities (small banks) holding $250 billion or less in assets away from the influence of Dodd/Frank and its Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). On May 21, 2018, the bureau was weakened after US President Donald Trump signed into law Congressional legislation repealing the enforcement of automobiles lending rules.[77] On May 24, 2018, Trump signed into law further Congressional legislation exempting dozens of (small) banks from the CFPB's regulations.[7
Non-legislative events designed to be part of the Obama Legacy
Non-legislative events designed to be part of the Obama Legacy include the Iranian Deal and the Paris Climate Accord. It may surprise you to know that neither were treatises as defined above. Neither were signed documents. Neither were legally binding agreements. Both included a huge transfer of American wealth while accomplishing little to nothing. And both have been deleted by the Trump Administration because neither had legislative anchor. America remains the world's leader in emissions control. Iran's aggression versus Israel and members of the Middle East Arab alliance has, once again, been placed "under the microscope" by the United States to the approval of every Middle Eastern nation.
By contrast, President Trump is fully aware of the tentative nature of his Administration . . . here today, gone tomorrow. As a result of this awareness, he is working with Congress to legislate his agenda as much as possible. His judicial appointments are "there" for life. Revisions to the VA system, ObamaCare, Dodd/Frank, child healtcare, military repair and reform, wage hikes for our military, reform to NATO, and, a massive tax reform are all legislative victories, making it very difficult to reverse. Whatever happens with NAFTA, the Trans Pacific Partnership, Iran, N Korea, and the G7, these will all be ratified by Congress if diplomatic talks go far enough to justify ratification.
No wonder Trump is hated. He is "getting things done,": keeping his campaign promises, and bringing this nation back to its roots in terms of legislation and judicial appointments.
