When that happens, the deal’s opponents would have to enlist enough Democratic votes to overturn the presidential veto, which requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate (and the House of Representatives). In other words, the president only needs to secure 34 Democratic votes in the Senate to ensure that the deal stands; there are currently 54 Republican, 44 Democratic and two independent senators (both of whom caucus with the Democrats).
Obama’s administration will go full throttle to avoid a falling away of Democratic support during the 60-day review period.
The congressional leadership could also simply put the deal up for a vote of approval, which it would almost certainly lose. At that point, the president wold’t have anything to veto (he can’t veto a resolution that has failed), but would have to explain why he was sticking with a deal even when the voice of the people – the legislature – had clearly expressed its disapproval.
(All of this will take much time so how long can it be stalled off...and further...there's stepping blocks along the way...can Obama fulfill these even if it's in Congress without a vote? I understand not. ...Meanwhile Iran will continue it's buildup while this nation hassles over the deal no deal.)

“Kerry is like all other democrats. They are loyal to their party first and foremost. Plus they know that they will never be held accountable for their actions. There will always be George Bush to blame.”
There are way too many in Congress on both Parties loyal to only Party and donors, who they bow down to instead of our country. That is what troubles me. My primary concern is a USA that is being invaded and indebted and going to hell in a hand basket because we are stuck funding other countries by greedy incompetent partisans wanting only reelected. They put their Party and their lobbyists and donors ahead of our country and Americans.
The welfare of the USA is the only country I care about, and that should be the only country that Congress cares about if they read the Constitution. The entangling alliances always end up screwing us and making politicians rich. They import immigrants that we don’t need from countries that could care less about the USA.
If it was up to me I’d wipe our USA hands of the ME and let those who live there deal with their own neighborhood and let them deal with escalating energy prices on their own. Globalization of commodities has screwed the USA as a self sufficient country. Instead it made Wall st bankers rich. Another ME war will break us.
