As the�Daily News�reported,�the four lawmakers were among 47 Senate Republicans who argued in an open letter to Iranian leaders that any agreement they may strike would not last beyond President Barack Obama�s administration.

�We will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear-weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement,� the letter stated.

The Daily Banter�and other outlets�noted that the letter could be considered a violation of the Logan Act, which prohibits U.S. Citizens from starting or engaging in �any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof� for the purpose of interfering with a foreign policy negotiation.

�This letter is neither advice, nor consent,� The Banter�s Tommy Christopher wrote. �It�s directly addressed to leaders of a foreign government presently involved in talks with the U.S., and it is designed to thwart those talks. Unless the senators were authorized by the president to address Iran�s leaders in this letter, a case can be made that 47 U.S. senators just violated a federal law that carries a prison term of up to three years.�

Obama said in response that the letter showed an �unusual coalition� between GOP legislators and �hardliners� in Iran. Vice President Joe Biden, a former senator,�also ripped the letter,�saying it was an unprecedented effort to undermine not only Obama, but any president.

�This letter sends a highly misleading signal to friend and foe alike that our commander-in-chief cannot deliver on America�s commitments � a message that is as false as it is dangerous,� Biden said. �Honorable people can disagree over policy. But this is no way to make America safer or stronger.�
