<<< Even his own party is getting of this nonsense - that and losing one election after another.
A bipartisan group of 360 US lawmakers has signed a letter
warning President Barack Obama that any sanctions relief on Iran as part
of an emerging nuclear deal would require new legislation from
Congress.
The letter, signed by a majority of Republicans
and Democrats in the House of Representatives, will be sent to the US
president on Thursday, said one of the signatories, according to
congressional newspaper The Hill.
"There really cannot be any
marginalization of Congress. Congress really needs to play a very active
and vital role in this whole process, and any attempts to sidestep
Congress will be resisted," Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY) said Thursday
morning at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
"We would
hope that we could get a prompt response from the White House. It's
truly a very bipartisan letter expressing Congress' strong feelings
about things that need to be in the agreement," he said.
The
missive followed a similar one signed by 47 Republican senators on March
9 warning Iran’s leaders that any nuclear deal might be revoked by the
next US president . . . . . . . read more here.
Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
