Mr. Korda enters, pointing out that Sen. Schumer (an AIPAC member and pro-Israel Democrat) may want Congressional approval of the deal. This is a technique Mr. Korda likes: Here, he doesn't answer the point about Walker, but instead points to someone who happens to also disagree with Obama. Yet, Shumer has not said he would automatically reject it as Walker did (a key difference). Mr. Renner points out that Republicans may not ultimately have the support they need if they try to sabotage the agreement and Obama vetoes that. U.S. Presidents have a long-recognized authority to negotiate "sole-executive" agreements with other countries (and yes, not everyone likes this). During his term he can veto an attempt to simply sabotage that type of agreement with legislation.
