Mike Pence: “It's become clear to me this is not my time.”

I mean, under the Constitution, the vice president’s role is only to preside over a session of Congress where the electoral college votes are opened and counted.

Maximum pressure worked. America’s military strength worked. The blockade worked. Iran came to the table because the regime’s existence teetered on a knife’s edge.

It smacks of the kind of appeasement the president rightly rejected during our first term.

But the memorandum of understanding with Iran signed last week falls well short of what is required to end the Iranian threat.
