Obama must bring Iran nuclear deal to Congress: GOP senator
[Iran Press TV] An influential Republican senator says he is moving forward with legislation that would prevent President Barack ObamaJedi mind meld... from lifting sanctions against Iran until Congress reviews a nuclear deal. "There is growing bipartisan support for congressional review of the nuclear deal, and I am confident of a strong vote on the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee takes it up on April 14," Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement on Thursday. His comments came shortly after the P5+1 -- the US, Britannia, La Belle France, China, Russia and Germany -- reached an outline of an agreement with Iran over its civilian nuclear work that would lift all international sanctions imposed against the Islamic Theocratic Republicin exchange for certain steps Tehran will take with regard to its nuclear program. Corker warned the B.O. regime not to bypass the Republican-dominated Congress by taking the Iran agreement straight to the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... "Rather than bypass Congress and head straight to the UN Security Council as planned, the administration first should seek the input of the American people," he said. Corker has co-authored a controversial bill with Senator Robert Menendez that requires the US president to submit the text of any nuclear deal with Iran to Congress for review. The legislation would also ban the White House from lifting any sanctions for a period of 60 days so that Congress could hold hearings and debate the deal. Obama has threatened to veto the bill.
