U.S. Congressmen want a say in Iran election, apply for travel visas to Iran BY LISA DAFTARI (EDIT)THURSDAY FEB 4, 2016 7:08PM

Hand-delivered visa application to travel to Iran Three U.S. lawmakers have applied for travel visas to Iran to oversee their upcoming elections and to inspect nuclear sites to ensure that the government has kept its end of the nuclear deal.

The trio, Reps. Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), Mike Pompeo and Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.) also penned a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and the Iran Revolutionary Guardian Council General Mohammad Ali Jafari to support their application, which was hand delivered today to the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, D.C., the office that has served in place of an Iran embassy since 1979.

“The primary reason for our visit to Iran is to observe your elections scheduled for February 26th, 2016” the letter states, adding “We look forward to seeing Iranian democracy in action.”

We have people with 85 IQs running our government. They really think they are going to “supervise” or “oversee” Iranian elections? You mean like Jimmah Carter? What if they find something they don’t like? They gonna go to the Iranian election board? How brilliant an idea.

And where can I find the authority for this in Article I of the US Constitution these politicians swore and oath to uphold?
