The Iran Nuclear Agreement was an executive agreement because Obama chose to name it an executive agreement. There is nothing in the Agreement that makes it an executive agreement as opposed to a treaty, but Obama was well aware that a treaty requires two-thirds approval by the Senate and he could not count on two-thirds of Senators approving the agreement. As a result, he chose to make it an executive agreement, which only needs an up or down vote from half of the senators.

Did Iran deal pass congress?
It's complicated. The simplest answer is to say that Congress could not "unapprove it".Under a typical treaty analysis, President Obama would be required by the US Constitution to get Senate ratification of the treaty with a two-thirds majority. However, Obama argued that the Iran Deal was an "executive agreement" and not a "treaty". As an executive agreement, the President is not required to seek Congressional approval, but he may grant Congress the right to vote up or down on the agreement. This up or down vote is a plain majority vote in the Congress, but can be vetoed by the President. This effectively makes the approval requirement for an "executive agreement" the almost-exact reverse of the approval requirement for a "treaty". Instead of two-thirds of the Senate being required to approve a "treaty", now, two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives are required to override the Presidential veto preventing their disapproval of the "executive action" from coming to pass. Congress was not able to muster the two-thirds needed to oppose the Iran Nuclear Deal.Note that Obama is not the first or only President to use this legal finagling in order to avoid a direct Senate vote. "Executive Agreements" were first invented by Franklin D. Roosevelt and were used by all subsequent US Presidents.

How did post World War 2 US presidents increase their power in foreign affairs?
After WW 2, US presidents began to believe that sharing power in US foreign policy was a derogation of the Presidency. Beginning with President Truman, the Presidency pursued an independent course in foreign affairs causing the constitutional separation of powers to fade away.Even in the 21st century the executive agreement, such as the Iran-Nuke agreement, placed the Senate in a non-role.
