Us house of representatives rejects iran nuclear deal

President Obama is set to implement his historic nuclear deal with Iran as soon as this week, barring a stunning flip-flop by Senate Democrats who’ve already blocked GOP attempts to derail the deal and are slated to repeat that assist to the White House on Tuesday.

Mr. Pompeo and constitutional litigator David Rivkin argue that Mr. Obama’s failure to submit the full agreement to Congress within the 60-day review period means Mr. Obama “remains unable lawfully to waive or lift statutory Iran-related sanctions“.

US President Barack Obama hailed a Congressional vote allowing a nuclear deal with Iran to go ahead Thursday, saying work would now shift to implementing and verifying the accord. The vote on the procedural motion was 58 to 42, falling two votes short of the 60 votes needed to reject the agreement.

John Katko and Richard Hanna, R-Barneveld, helped Republicans reject the deal 269-162 in a vote mostly along party lines. They claimed House Republicans used their opposition to the nuclear deal to take a partisan shot at the president.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between Iran, the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Russian Federation releases Iran from economic sanctions and unfreezes billions in assets, with the goal of having more oversight of the country’s nuclear program to prevent it from developing a weapon.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., vowed to bring the legislation up again next week, but any change in outcome is extremely unlikely. But the House on Friday began a series of maneuvers to highlight their extreme displeasure with the deal.

With the Republican-dominated US Congress failing to scuttle the Iran nuclear deal, he said the U.S. would soon turn the task to implementation of the accord.

House Republicans are charging that the White House violated a law requiring it give Congress all the information concerning the deal it brokered with Iran in July, since it did not deliver the details arrangements on inspections between Tehran and the U.N.’s global Atomic Energy Agency, which are traditionally kept secret.
