740: Losers to Lions

Wendy Sherman, UN Security Council Iran Vote

Undersecretary Wendy Sherman explains the strategy of using a UN Security Council resolution to endorse the Iran deal before the U.S. Congress can vote. The hosts explain that this "fancy footwork" bypasses the Constitutional requirement for a two-thirds Senate majority for treaties, likely resulting in an executive order that lasts for the remainder of the Obama presidency.
