Quote:It looks like the thousands of protesters outside the US Capitol today may have persuaded at least one Congressman to rethink Obama’s nuclear deal. trump dc

Speaker John Boehner reportedly has agreed to vote on a resolution introduced by Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL). The resolution will state that Obama has not complied with the law by not submitting to the full Iranian nuclear deal to Congress. Instapundit reported:

“ Looks like pressure from the House conservative Freedom Caucus membership has forced House Speaker John Boehner to agree the House will not pass a resolution disapproving of President Obama’s Iran deal. Instead, the House will apparently vote Friday on the resolution introduced by Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL), which will state that Obama has not complied with the Corker-Cardin law because he has not submitted the full Iranian nuclear “agreement,” which that law explicitly defines to include all “side deals,” between third parties (including the Iran-IAEA side deals).

The House is also anticipated to now vote on a second resolution, which would state that because the President has failed to submit the “agreement” defined by Corker-Cardin, the President has no corresponding authority to lift any existing Iranian sanctions.

The move by Boehner came after Freedom Caucus members threatened to vote down a planned resolution disapproving of the Iran deal, leaving the House on record as approving the deal. This threat was designed to leverage Boehner via potential political embarrassment, and encourage GOP leadership to consider the Roskam alternative, which will both delay congressional action on the Iran deal, as well as provide a stronger legal basis upon which to challenge any presidential action lifting sanctions.

How so?

#Republicanvoicesmatterf'kIran!

If they only put this much effort into trying to accomplish something plausible and worthwhile. Ho Hum.

Quote:Now that the legislative battle to stop President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal has failed, conservatives are considering taking the fight to the courtroom.

A federal court ruling Wednesday that found members of Congress had standing to sue the administration over the Affordable Care Act has empowered some Iran deal opponents to suggest lawmakers could also bring a lawsuit against the administration over the Iran deal.

In a press conference Thursday morning, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) entertained the idea, telling reporters legal action was “an option that’s very possible.”

You mean like gay marriage and unisex bathrooms and lockerrooms?

The Republicans were never serious about stopping this deal, or they never would have signed off on needing a 2/3 majority to shoot down a treaty.

They just wanted to get to ***** real loud while it moved forward.

Leadership in this country? There's a vacuum in Washington.

What legislation has been passed in Congress about either of those issues in the past few years?

Who said Congress had passed legislation about either? Redwingtom said "If they only put this much effort into accomplishing something plausible and worthwhile." I simply listed two items that I felt he would think fits the bill. He didn't reply though.

Because I had no idea what in the world you were talking about. Why would a GOP lead house take up gay marriage or whatever the heck they would do about lockerrooms?

They wouldn't....which is why you felt it wasn't worthwhile....
