Krauthammer’s Take: Obama Wants to Cut Congress Out of Iranian Negotiations and Get U.N. Approval Instead

On Friday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said he thinks the Obama administration wants to remove Congress from the ongoing Iranian negotiations entirely.

“It’s obvious the administration wants to go to the U.N., and to cut out the Congress, regardless of the legalities here,” Krauthammer said. “If he goes to the U.N. and he gets the U.N. Security Council to approve of this deal…what’s going to happen overnight, it will be approved, and the Europeans, the Chinese, and the Russians are going to end their sanctions.”

Krauthammer added that if Europe, Russia, and China chose to end their sanctions, then our sanctions would make little difference and “the sanctions regime will be over.” At that point, Krauthammer said, it will be evident that President Obama has overstepped his own authority.
