...Shortly after [Hussein] announced a nuclear deal with Iran on Tuesday...verdicts began flowing in from lawmakers. Some were already vowing to “undo” the agreement, others gave tepid support, but nearly all ignored the reality: that while Obama’s achievement faces a tough sell on the Hill, even if lawmakers were to oppose his push, they have no real kill switch.
.....Congress needs a two-thirds majority in both chambers to override the veto; Obama needs only the support of 34 senators to give the agreement safe passage.
....Obama is prevented from waiving or suspending congressionally imposed sanctions on Iran before Congress approves or disapproves (or ignores) a final agreement. But that doesn’t include other U.S. sanctions or those imposed by the United Nations, which Obama said will be lifted in phases as Iran takes steps to implement the deal. Sanctions on Iran’s access to arms and ballistic weapons will remain in place for five years and eight years respectively. Under details of the agreement released by the Obama administration, the deal’s stipulations would be adopted in a United Nations Security Council resolution that’s already being prepared.

Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday he doesn’t think lawmakers will vote down the deal.
“If Congress were to veto the deal, Congress – the United States of America would be in noncompliance with this agreement and contrary to all of the other countries in the world,” he said. Obama has vowed to veto any legislation that prevents the deal’s implementation.
If Republican senators do try to block the deal, they will likely woo Democratic Iran-hawks such as New York’s Chuck Schumer and New Jersey’s Bob Menendez. Both said Tuesday they wouldn’t be easily bought by intensive lobbying from either Republican colleagues or the administration.
“I intend to go through this agreement with a fine-tooth comb,” Schumer said. “Supporting or opposing this agreement is not a decision to be made lightly, and I plan to carefully study the agreement before making an informed decision.”
Exhumed is a liar. He’s going to oppose this deal the same way Bart Stupak opposed Obamacare.
Can someone please tell me why a president has a veto on advise and consent? If that is the case, there is no need for advise and consent. Obama practices dictatorship just like always.
Obama wants this.
Boner and McTurtle will cave.
As usual.
They could ALL turn to the American public and defend her.
(Shrooms must be kickin’ in)
That should be Schumer is a liar, but I think my iPhone autocorrect may be on to something.

The GOP is the useless Party.
Sorry but you are wrong. Congress has a huge bat, withholding funds from the UN roughly $650 million in 2015. Obama would have an MI if you f@cked with his favorite communist world governing body.
