BREAKING: 363 Congressmen Unite in Full Defiance of Obama’s Treason
We’ve all heard the adage “better late than never” and there can hardly be a more appropriate situation to use it than when discussing attempts to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
As President Barack Obama appears to be reaching a deal with Iran on nuclear enrichment, more than 360 members of Congress finally decided it was time to remind him that he isn’t a dictator … yet.
In a letter introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce and New York Democrat Rep. Eliot Engel, members of Congress insisted that the permanent sanctions relief Iran demands would require new legislation. New legislation that isn’t going to come so easily.
In regard to any agreement on the matter the letter said, “Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief.”
Additionally, the letter said “Iran’s role in fomenting instability in the region … demonstrates the risks of negotiating with a partner we cannot trust.”
The letter was signed by 363 members of Congress and it emphasizes the bipartisan desire to prevent the Obama administration from negotiating a bad nuclear deal with Iran, which would prove to be disastrous (H/TNewsmax).
In a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Iran, Engal said the letter expressed Congress’ “strong feelings” about what exactly needs to be in the agreement.
“Congress really needs to play a very active and vital role in this whole process, and any attempts to sidestep Congress will be resisted on both sides of the aisle,” he added.
It’s good to see Democrats and Republicans coming together to face down Obama on this important issue and we could only hope that it happens more often.
