What was the rationale for the HFC blocking consideration of this in the House?

Because the better path was to declare the President in violation of the Corker-Cardin Bill by not providing all the side agreements for Congressional review. Then, the sanctions would've stayed in place.

Passing a "Resolution of Disapproval" was exactly what the Corker-Cardin Bill was set up to accomplish -- allowing the GOP to object, but insuring that the sanctions would be lifted and the Iran deal would go forward.

I.e., the Resolution was Kabuki theater, while a vote declaring Corker-Cardin void would've constituted real action.

I can't imagine McClintock's reasons for objecting.
