Obama, Congress to square off over Iran nuclear agreement

President Obama appealed to lawmakers to reconsider contentious legislation giving Congress a say on an Iran nuclear deal, as the co-author of the bill vowed to hold a key vote next week.

In an interview published Sunday, Obama said the newly agreed framework of a nuclear deal with Iran represented a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and move toward stabilizing the Middle East.

But the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in an interview with "Fox News Sunday," said Congress would exercise its "rightful role" to scrutinize and approve any agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting international sanctions.

"It's very important that Congress is in the middle of this, understanding, teasing out, asking those important questions," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said Sunday.

Corker's office said Sunday the Foreign Relations Committee would vote on April 14 on the review legislation. Amid sustained opposition from the White House, Corker said that the Senate is two or three votes shy of the 67 needed to override a vowed White House veto.

There may be 10 to 13 Democrats that vote against the deal the first time around, but when Obama vetoes the legislation, those Dems will cut and run, just like they always do.

And we'll be one step closer to the end of the End of Days.

very possibly, yes

"When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."
Mark 13:7

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27

The thing I find humorous about this situation is that any treaty negotiated by the Executive branch must be ratified by a super majority (75%) in the Senate in order for it to be binding.

There is no logic in this administration negotiating a treaty that it knows the Senate will NEVER ratify.

Very true, but the question is, can the Republicans keep the Democrats in line who also oppose the "treaty"?
