So, I respectfully disagree, the POTUS can't make rogue deals and not be held accountable when they are undone the same way they were done, by circumventing Congress.

I remember the articles when it was signed, the EU and Iran were warned this agreement was not done correctly to not be easily undone (stroke of a pen method Obama used to sign it in first place).

To be honest, though, there was no deal Obama could have worked out that would have passed Congress. They would have opposed a treaty that dismantled everything nuclear forever in Iran and had Iran acknowledging Israel's place in the world simply because Obama did it.

None of that matters to the fact that the deal was preventing Iran from continuing their nuclear weapons program until 2031, but pulling out of the deal means there is a risk of them restarting the program now. The way the deal was done doesn't change the fact that by all accounts Iran was complying with all of the requirements of the JCPOA and so pulling out in this way is illogical.
