This legislation actually took power back from the president, and without it, he could have unilaterally implemented the deal immediately. The president never would have been forced to submit the agreement to Congress and there would have been no review and no debate on this critical national security issue.
The above is a paragraph from a letter sent by Sen Corker
on Sept 5 2015. If there was no Corker bill, Obama would have released the funds in July.
There are 42 Democrats in the Senate. Do you think it will be hard to get 34 to vote with Obama?
Those funds are going to be approved just like the nuclear deal will, but a 1/3rd Senate approval instead of the 2/3rds Senate hurdle.
That’s a big win in your book?
Not mine.
