      @EliLake @AriFleischer No, Carter abrogated a mutual-defense treaty with Taiwan, w/out asking Senate to un-ratify it, as part of recognizing mainland China as the real China. But that was more ambiguous bc presidents do have the power to recognize which govt is legit (via power to receive ambassadors).

    @EliLake @AriFleischer To be clear, I'm piping up here at @AriFleischer, bc as White House press secretary he defended Bush's abrogation of the ABM Treaty, making a bit precious his RT of your suggestion that Obama should have made the Iran deal a treaty if he didn't want Trump to be able to do this.
