Now, it's Congress' turn.
The announcement Tuesday of a landmark nuclear deal with Iran shifts the debate from the negotiating table in Vienna to the floors of Capitol Hill, where a rebellion already is brewing over elements of the deal that critics call a "historic capitulation."
President Obama, speaking early Tuesday morning from the White House, touted the agreement as a breakthrough that has "stopped the spread of nuclear weapons" in the region. The deal would curb Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for significant sanctions relief.
But Congress, under legislation approved earlier this year, has a say and will be able to approve or reject the terms after a 60-day review period.

It’s going to be a brutal fight. He’ll most likely have to make a few phone calls. Gonna be a bloodbath I tell ya.
It should NEVER have gone THIS far. “O” speaks for NO ONE and this is yet ANOTHER openly Anti-American move
The way Iran is celebrating, it can’t be anything but bad for the rest of world.
All he has to have is all of his Democrats or most of his Democrats and some Republicans. He will probably get all of his Democrats and some or most Republicans. Even Cruz voted to give him free rein with Iran knowing what the end result would be. Opposition now when 2/3 of both Houses is necessary to knock the treaty down will be just for show because the result is foreordained.
“The way Iran is celebrating, it can’t be anything but bad for the rest of world.”
What are they doing? Dancing in the streets and handing out candy like they did immediately after 9.11?
All O has to do is hold the treat high above McConnell’s and Boehner’s head and say “That’s a good puppy. Now roll over, good dog.”
It’s not bad for Hussein or the rest of the Brotherhood. They get a warm fuzzy glow thinking about a nuclear attack on Israel, and the certainty of an Israeli vaporization of Iran after Tel Aviv goes up in a fireball. That would clear the Middle Eastern field for ISIL.
He is sick.
Yes he is. They all are.
#2)The Corker fiasco flips separation of powers on it's head. A kill bill needs to be introduced and has to have over a 2/3 super-majority to kill Obbie's nukes. In the corrupt world of American politics, Obama can bribe or blackmail enough legislators to never reach a more than 2/3 body willing to kill it.
Before this is over, Congress will have surrendered ALL it’s authority to Obama. It will relieve them from the stress and bad press involved with making tough decisions.
Congress is worthless. It has no backbone. It will cave like it always does. Evil reigns.
Technically he's correct. The spread pattern will be in America and Israel.
I don’t understand. Is this a treaty? If so, wouldn’t just the Senate have a role? If it is a bill requiring a vote from both houses, couldn’t the president just veto it if Congress doesn’t vote his way? Can someone help me here?
Wouldn’t doubt that!
The weapons will be spread around Iran as they position to attack their mortal enemies, the very people who signed off on this deal.
ACQUIESENCE DOESN’T PREVENT WAR, IT DELAYS IT.
This is how Islam communicates. The statement in that world is interpreted as, "Iran has total control of who gets nuclear weapons and who they are used against"
Actually it telegraphs that Iran will have them by Obama's grace.
