Do any FReepers know which Congressman are on the fence on this vote, and thus most likely to be swayed with phone calls perhaps???
There is no reason to doubt that outcome.
Sure, a few Democrats will “vote their conscience” and not support the “agreement”, but the Democrat party whips (what a quaintly descriptive term!) will make sure that the two-thirds majority requirement to override a veto will not occur in either the House or Senate, and there may not even be enough votes to override a filibuster in the Senate, by a matter of maybe only a vote or two, but the discipline will not be relaxed if it comes down to a close vote.
Current Occupant wins. As do the Iranians.
I am coming to the opinion that if Iran drops a nuke on US or Israel in the nearest future, the only honorable thing for members of congress who voted with The Emperor and Lurch should resign, if they survived the attack, that is... But Democrats, for the most part, have no honor.
Forcing themselves to later vote with a veto-proof majority is one of the absolute dumbest things I’ve seen in a long time. Unreal.
Unless of course the objective all along was to throw away our security and give a bunch of money to Iran, and later pretend that they were powerless to stop it. Again, they were all for it before they were against it, I guess.
I would at least like to see 60 senators, so Emperor has to veto the disapproval this piece of fertilizer.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The Iranian islamonazis continues to threaten to nuke USA while these pathetic congress critters negotiate how much money they can grab for casting votes to enable the enemy’s attacks on American cities. Dam@ed traitors all!
Netanyahu needs better confidantes. This was decided a while back when the Senate changed the rules to guarantee it. Rest is pure theatre.
A President Trump or President Cruz will rescind this deal on day 1.
A President Bush...I have my doubts.
The senate gave the game away when they agreed to pretend that Obama’s treaty with Iran is not a treaty.
Thanks to Senator Bob Corker [R-TN] they have agreed to bypass the constitution and give Obama an easy road to approval of his Iran deal.
Under the Corker bill, if Congress votes the Iran deal down, the president can simply veto it and then Congress has to override his veto by a 2/3 majority.
Under the Constitution the President needs a 2/3 majority vote from the Senate to pass the Iran treaty but now, thanks to the Corker bill, Congress will need a 2/3 majority to stop the president from passing the Iran treaty.
It’s bass-ackwards dirty politics.
Obama doesn’t need democrats to kiss his arse when he has republicans lining up for the privilege.
Will this turkey play out as quickly as Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler before WWII? Remember Churchill tried to tell him! - We may soon know; but it feels like absolute madness.
