US Senate Democrats, Republicans agree to delay Iran bill vote

US Senate Democrats and Republicans agreed on Thursday to delay until at least mid-April any vote on a closely watched bill that would require President Barack Obama to submit any nuclear agreement with Iran for Congress' approval, congressional aides said.

Republican Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had said he wanted to have the committee vote next Thursday.

But Senate Democrats balked, reluctant to advance legislation the Obama administration has said could have a "profoundly negative impact" on the delicate nuclear talks with Iran, just as negotiators struggled to meet a late-March deadline for a framework agreement.

Obama will make a Deal with Iran before the end of March and then it’s tough cheese for the GOP

The 114th EXEMPT enable support of the murderers
of Americans, and those who PLAN TODAY to murder
Americans.

In an alternate universe, the Congress is Honorable
and cares about the Constitution and the Electorate.

It’s strategic, they’re training Obama into compliance by slow walking everything.

Why not wait until Iran builds nukes and then vote?

This is truly stupid. Why are they putting this up for a vote. The Congress already has the power of ratifying all treaties. By even suggesting that they need to vote on it is surrendering their power.

It is time for the “Slow Walk Termination Act of 2015.”

We voted for these fools.

*************
No, they fooled us. We are the fools for electing them. They are laughing behind our backs. Their old tricks, theatrics and empty promises just keep working for them election after election.

Defund the GOP.
