Congress won a battle on Iran nuclear deal to Obama


The House of Representative on Thursday passed legislation requiring congress to review of a probable nuclear deal with Iran. This was a victory for the Congress and give it the power to approve or disapprove of a nuclear agreement with Iran during a 30-day period when economic sanctions could not be lifted. This passage came on a vote of 400 to 25 which override Obama veto. Obama administration is not permitted to lift any economical sanction if the international accord is signed.  The Senate also passed the bill last week in an amazing result of 98-1 vote.

For months, the White House was though against the effort in Congress to oversee the Iran deal, warning that the proposals threatened to upend the talks. But a bipartisan cooperation led this bill to be passed and prevent Obama to be able to veto the bill.
