US Senate panel to challenge Obama with vote on Iran bill
None
A US Senate committee pushed toward a vote on a bill that would give Congress a chance to weigh in on any final nuclear agreement that can be reached with Iran in a direct challenge to the White House. The top Republican leaders in the House and Senate insisted on Tuesday that lawmakers have a say.
Despite a veto threat from President Barack Obama, there is strong bipartisan support for Congress to review any deal that the US and five other nations are able to negotiate to keep Iran from being able to develop nuclear weapons in exchange for easing sanctions crippling the economy of the influential nation in the Middle East.
