As much as we occasionally have rather irresponsible Presidents, there is very, very little good that has ever come from Congressional intervention in foreign policy.

Tom Cotton is angling to be the biggest senatorial setback to American foreign policy since Henry Cabot Lodge shot down the League of Nations.

Since the sanctions were established by congressional action, it will take congressional action to end them. So the Corker deal might well, by giving the President this authority and saying that any deal requires a veto-proof majority to scuttle, strengthen the prospect of a deal being approved - so long as the foreclosing of more immediate sanctions relief isn't a hindrance to Iran's cooperation.
