As one of three co-equal branches of our government, and with power to approve of or reject any treaty with foreign governments, the 47 Senators were perfectly justified in writing a letter informing the Islamic Republic, a sponsor of world-wide terrorism, that any agreement signed by this administration is subject to approval by our Senate. The courage shown by these 47 Senators deserves a medal for their opposition to the proposed agreement, which will make Iran's effort to build a nuclear weapon easier. A nuclear weapon in the hands of the extremist Mullahs will place America and the world in greater danger of extinction than at any time in history.
