If that's what you think, perhaps you should apply that logic to Dear Leader, whose only experience prior to being elected President was one term as Senator who voted "Present" most of the time, and prior to that, a "Community Organizer."
A few things come to mind...
He absolutely slobberknocked two GOP opponents who had lots of "experience."
He's been effectively cleaning up the horrible mess his predecessor (with gubernatorial "experience") left behind, even though the opposition party has done everything in their power to maintain that mess and try to blame it on him.
Two of the leading GOP presidential "hopefuls" are first term senators.
I recall how successful the most recent GOP administration (in concert with its GOP congress) was at preventing N Korea from developing and deploying nuclear weapons. Somehow, they now want to appear to be nonproliferation authorities.
Kudos to the GOP. Somebody needs to tell Obama to stop cozying up to the hard line Iranian leaders.
It's the hardline Iranian dealers that don't want a deal. The sanctions are killing their economy now that natural gas is go cheap, and the hardliners need to maintain a boogeyman (the US). The moderates, and a lot of the very young and very well educated urban Iranians want a more western friendly government. Throwing out a non-proliferation agreement that allows them to have a domestic nuclear power program would embolden the hard-liners and would give them every reason to pursue a nuclear weapon.
The Likud Party needs a scary Iran in order to appease the hairlines in Israel and to scare people into votes at a time when their economy isn't doing so well. And here at home Republicans in the Senate are either loath to allow Obama to get credit anything, much less for normalizing relations with both Cuba and Iran, or they are the doomsday type trying to usher in Armageddon.
Maybe they should have sent a letter to their President with their request, then, rather than acting out of childish pique again because they lost.
Congress is a co-equal branch of government and has as much of a role in foreign policy as the executive branch. It seems like you want a monarchy. And you must have missed the 2014 election where the Republicans scored unprecedented gains in state and Congressional elections.
It was reported last year that in 2008, Barack Obama used Ambassador Wiiliam G. Miller to secretly deliver a message to the Iranian mullahs that should he be elected president, he would not insist that Iran completely abandon it's nuclear enrichment program. Negotiations between Iran and the Bush administration broke down shortly thereafter. Now Obama is trying to deliver on his promise to Iran, and is upset because the letter from the 47 Senators may derail his plans. Obama’s Latest Big Lie: ‘We Have No Strategy’ | Faster, Please!

That's funny.
Carry on.
I LIKE THIS PART:

Should we have a unified foreign policy? Or is it okay for any bozo senator or small-town mayor be able to speak for our country with another power? What these idiots did is a disrespect toward the office of the POTUS.
Golly, it's amazing that when John Kerry negotiates with Sandinistas, Nancy Pelosi visits Assad and Jim McDermott lays a big wet one on Saddam, that's all AOK. Just different rules for scumbag, leftist Democrats when it comes to going against the wishes of the Executive Branch I guess. What this demonstrates completely is the utter hypocrisy of the left and their apologists.
