Lost in all the noise of the 2016 presidential contest is President Barack Obama’s successful assault on the Treaty Clause of the United States Constitution in his pursuit of an Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
JCPOA was the product of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program beginning in 2013 between Iran, the United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany and the European Union. The purpose ascribed to the JCPOA by the U.S. was to impede Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons for eight to 10 years. In exchange for Iran’s agreement to and implementation of the JCPOA, international and U.S. sanctions on Iran would be removed. Final agreement on the JCPOA was reached on July 14, 2015.
