Just months after President Barack Obama forced a dangerous nuclear deal with Iran on the American public, Republican members of Congress are sending a message — not so fast.
And if GOP leaders have their way, they’ll stop Obama from lifting sanctions on Iran’s brutal, hardline regime.
New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte has introduced a bill that would keep sanctions in place until the Obama Administration reveals what it knows about Iran’s nuclear ambitions — and can prove that any military aspects to the country’s nuclear program have ended.
Critics of the Iran deal have long accused Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry of failing to provide Congress with everything they know about alleged Iranian efforts to build a nuclear weapon. The pact with Iran also doesn’t allow inspectors to visit Iranian nuclear sites without notice.
Ayotte has been one of the fiercest critics of the deal. She had previously said that it “falls dangerously short of protecting our national security interests in several critical areas and ultimately fails to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.”
Under the legislation introduced by Ayotte, which has already picked up several co-sponsors, sanctions on Iran also could not be lifted without Congressional approval.
If the bill does not pass, sanctions could be eased as early as January.
It will be a wonder if her bill passes unless there is a lot of participation from across the aisle. I am glad she is taking a stance against lifting Iran sanctions. I can’t believe the White House and Kerry got away with this fiasco. We the people have lost our power of directing our democracy. What a shame!
Someone in congress has some “Testicular’s”!
Will this get past RINO Paul Ryan?
Yup – And it’s a women with the testicles !!!!!! Hmmmm………..
Ironically …. they belong to a woman!
I agree with anyone in congress that will issue a bill to bring charges against Obama and Kerry for treason.
They have both committed acts of adding and abetting the enemy!!! It is just a question of how many times!!!
Here is a question to investigate.. In a court of law could the prosecutor present enough evidence to convict the President of being a Christian? He continues to protect the Islamic Shia and critics Christianity!!!
They both continue to say to us what they want us to believe, not what they believe!!! Will congress ever have the nerve to act? Will any citizen or organization bring these charges against Obama when He becomes a private citizen? Congress no doubt is reluctant to bring charges to a setting president, but He as a private citizen is another issue!!! We can only hope that justice will prevail. It is a long shot. But we can hope!!!
He constantly goes against the will of the people and is trying to destroy our Constitution. He has set racism back 50 years. He has supported Hamas. Muslim Brotherhood, Mexican drug Cartel and other Terrorist groups. He is trying to destroy our second amendment, If he can’t trust the people who elected him and other to bear arms for protection then he has no need to be President. He has made our military so weak it would have trouble taking care of more than one conflict at a time. I can agree that we should not be going around the world killing leaders of other countries. It should be up to the people of other countries to decide how they want to live. However we should take care of any problems that would threaten our freedoms or freedoms of our allies.
We are all created by the same Lord God, and under the same laws, HIS.
We are all under the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and
no one is above the law…so why are some pulling treason on America (n’s)
over the years and fly under the radar then someone else does something
and imprisoned. That’s not the way America will exist. One party seems
to say one thing and do another and it seems to be working off unto the other.
SHAME.
Congress will not impeach the unpresident Obama. I have given them a lot of proof and I get back “it is too expensive to impeach” I told them do your job and impeach the man
Once is enough,get him out of office
I can’t wait until he is OUT,he is taking us out from within,HE IS A MUSLIM,WHY can nobody ADMIT it
revoke every deal bama made and send him to Iran ,good riddens bama
All I can see out of the Democrats is self serving, and not sufficient for this country, but that goes to say the same for the last number of Presidents since the Kennedy days, and He tried to sleep in too many beds, with too many critical crooked ties.
Obama’s deal with Iran obviously a flawed arrangement, and that John Kerry was involved, I am not surprised that it needs to be negated.
I am still wondering why the Senate gave up their powers to ratify treaties. definition source one: an agreement or arrangement made by negotiation: (1) : private treaty (2) : a contract in writing between two or more political authorities (as states or sovereigns) formally signed by representatives duly authorized and usually ratified by the lawmaking authority of the state Second source 1) a formal agreement between two or more states in reference to peace, alliance, commerce, or other international relations. Third source 1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy)
a. a formal agreement or contract between two or more states, such as an alliance or trade arrangement
b. the document in which such a contract is written
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) any international agreement
3. any pact or agreement
So I guess if it looks like a turd, smells like a turd, it most likely is a turd and you should probably not step in it. This current batch of buffoons in Washington need to go and without their lifelong retirements and allowances they voted for themselves.
Don’t put your trust in Ayotte she is a RHINO.She goes along with what ever John MCCain and Lindsey Graham ..As we all know they are Rhinos.She along with those two need to be impeached along with Obama.
Nan, You must know Kelly really well, otherwise, you would not say that. Anyone who goes against Obuma and his NWO, is OK with me! BLOCK THE IRAN DEAL! The one I do not trust now, is Paul Ryan, who just gave away almost 2 trillion dollars of OUR money on the (what I call), the “Underthebus” Bill, that gave the dictator in office, the key to the city! The HNIC is going to do much, much more damage to this country in the next year! HE MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE HE STARTS WWIII…….
I agreed with Jeff Stop the Iran deal,Block it
JanineRo
AMEN,he’s NO better than Boehner,except he may CRY less
You are right about Kelly Ayotte!!! Don’t forget she voted in favor of Swift Boat John Kerry’s appointment. She also voted with The turn coat Republicans on the “screw-you” bill. Just to name a few…
Agree most need to be impeached but they better stop this I could bo a better job than any of these so called people, we need to take the power back starting with Term Limits, No Retirement, No special healthcare, No Vactions on tax payers dimes anymore including the president, pay for it yourself we have to and they are no better, No excitive order, must be ok’d by We the People, NOt congress,senate,surpreme court,or any governor, We Vote on it or it goes nowhere tired of the mess,illegal,immoral Un Constitutional things being done and our lol gov. Doing it if we like it or not.
IF CONGRESS AND THE SENATE DO NOT STOP THIS IRANIAN NUKE DEAL THEY WILL NOT BE IN OFFICE NEXT TERM.
EL TRUMPO IS COMING.

stop that and ilegal that come from far east and beyond, look at Europe and all over.. NO it is not to be ..it would be the last nail in our coffin
It is too bad the Army and others just don’t go in and arrest them all..
I agree but why don”t they
Isn’t it amazing that those liberals that continue to support and cheer for “their hero”, obama, kerry, and clinton; those now in command (or about to be again?) whose concern and efforts are not for Americans but for those that are enemies of America. As they continue to bestow our tax money on countries that hate us and continue to import the enemies of Americans into America. Those listed above all have their own reasons for being traitors to America, some for power and for their agenda to destroy America.
Right on Tom 100 % agreed with you
JanineRo
STEP up and protect our country. This has gone far enough. The government is actually opening doors to completely shatter this beloved country. We need some impeachment done quickly if we are to survive. You are not listening to “WE THE PEOPLE” do the job you were elected to do or step down.
Our Congress is full of “idiot’s, stupid people ” and mostly President “gofer’s” who do what the president wants instead of what the people want. They care more about being in bed with the president, then speaking up for what is right. We sent our representatives to Congress to represent us and therefore, we need to “clean house” and kick them out of Office.
Yes Ben you are correct! I do not understand why all the Angry Americans do not go to the polls & clean house & if the new “guys” don’t listen to & work for We The People, do it again & again till they get the idea. I’m sure there are still some politicians that love AmericaThe Beautiful.
how about making down this corrupt AH/impostor in the WH. How do we ever let an idiot live in the WH for 7 years? Jail yes, but not WH. This idiot is an embarrassment and his stupidity is dangerous to US and the world.
no matter what the republicrats in congress do ryan will turn to his good but-buddy and vote democrap.we have no honest republicans in congress. the political fat-cats/communist-marxist turncoats are running our country…ONLY WHEN WE GET BUSY AND RID OUR SYSTEM OF THE TRAITORS CAN WE RETURN OUR COUNTRY TO A FREE NATION. TRUMP AND CARLEY ARE THE ONLY NON-PARTY,NON-SYSTEM ,CANCER FREE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT..THE G.O.P. IS WORKING JUST AS HARD AS THE DEMOCRAPS TO KEEP TRUMP AND FIORINA OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY. the republicans hold the majority, still the communist democraps run the show.AND RYAN IS FINE WITH THAT..THESE COCKROACHES HAVE GIVEN O’BUMMER EVERYTHING HE WANTED. IT IS TIME FOR SOME SERIOUS FUMIGATION IN CONGRESS….

With the 2015 re-election of Senate Majority Leader, RHINO McConnell and the recent election of Speaker Of The House, RINO Ryan, I seriously doubt anything of substance is even allowed to come to the floor, for a recorded vote, that would stop or curtail the Demonrat’s agenda. Do not look to the Military Leadership, The Imposter-In-Chief has already gutted that. The time has come to RE-READ, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and see if we can find a clue, as to the proper course of action.
Paul Ryan will try to block it! he has proven he is another Boehner and will do WHATEVER Pelosi,Reid,Steinfeld and Odummy want!! WE had a Bill with enough votes on BOTH sides to overide a veto to make ALL refugees Certified!! Ryan worked with those 4 to KEEP it out of the Budget and OUT OF A VOTE because Odummy knew that his veto would have been overridden!! Talk about a blow to the safety of EVERY American!! THANK YOU PAUL RYAN FOR SHOWING US YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT THRU AND THRU!!!
Trump to the rescue!
The Iran deal was billed as a landmark accomplishment of the Obama administration. It is likely this is going to be seen as a mark of the utter gullibility and incompetence of this administration. Anyone who thinks Iran is planning to give up its nuclear ambitions is naive.
Congressional leaders should be ashamed for setting a rule that would put them in the position of having to sustain a veto of a bad agreement rather than requiring the president to win congressional approval as required by the Constitution. These people need to read and follow the Constitution.
The problem is “THE TEN SECRET SOCIETIES!” And all the politicians who belong to any of the ten secret societies!
They are all working on one agenda! And all Politicians, (Almost all of them) that belong to the secret societies, are not working for the will of the people, but they will stab us in the back every time!!
They want to get rid of the middle-class! They just want the poor, who will be their slaves, and themselves!
The one percent of the world’s rich elite, now own more then 50% of the world’s wealth! AND THEY WANT MORE!!
I have lived in this country for 30years an now I am seeing something very wrong happening here. 1- I think that what should happen is every person that is against the will of the PEOPLE should Be enpished or kicked out of office .If we the PEOPLE elected them then we can also not re-elect them in to office.2- I still dont understand this congress at all .They have the power to stop this agreement with Iran but I am still waiting for some action But nothing happens.
It will be the most unexpected of outcomes to find that the Republican Party has finally, and collectively, grown a pair. Let’s see if they can muster the wherewithal to rescind this
devastating and dangerous agreement. It is, in my opinion, a criminal act perpetrated on the American people through the collusion of the Obama/Kerry/Clinton triad. May God help us all if the Republicans are unsuccessful in their efforts.
its time congress represents the people instead of the sell out administration…. Obama should be impeached….. Hillary for prison 2016 Obama her cell mate
Look I hate bursting every ones balloon but short of a citizen’s revolution nothing in this country will be done. Do you actually believe that any one in Congress or Senate reads these posts really gives a flying sh-t? Write your rep., Democrat or Republican and bet all you receive is a form letter. Good Luck.
Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. Our enemies are amongst us. Pray to God for His enlightenment and intervention.
Father, we have made a mess of things. What would You have us do?
It does not matter what Congress does or does not do,Iran will continue to march full speed ahead with their nuclear obsession in order to destroy Israel , the United States of America, and anyone else that gets in their way. Especially now that Obama and Paul Ryan have given Iran 150 billion dollars. The only good thing I can say is, God is in charge. They will have to answer for their sins.
How foolish to try to block Obama’s efforts to ease tension in the Middle East by drawing Iran into the non-nuclear -for military purposes- camp.
The US can do with all the friends it can get in the area, even if they are bought friends, rather than continue to allow it’s Middle East foreign policy to be dictated by Israel; Obama is trying to bring about that sensible severance. His initiative deserves to succeed.
to terance
you sir, are the biggest fool of all!!!!
Stop pretending obuma or Barry sotoroe, which is his real name btw, should not be treated as if he is a legal and bona fided American citizen who has been Vetted and cleared to serve as commander in chief of the United States of America, as a matter of fact two people have been murdered who knew of the cover up, but they made the mistakes of telling someone they were going to expose the fraud. Foolish is believing in the fraud and Treasonous Barry sotoroe who with the help of hundreds of Bribes and murders has pulled off the biggest scam and conspiracy on the American people. killary clinton was one of the main players, along with the crooked bill clinton, to intimidate, bribe and threaten as many people as it took and levels of government so that the Kenyan born hussein could usurp, the highest office in the land. Aid came from two corrupt Communist organizations, Eighty one registered communist in the Senate, a corrupted Supreme court, and a Communist playbook, that barry has been following to the “T”. A revolution is already in the planning stages from the left, and has been for a long time, their target “Capitalism”, and they will get a lot of help from those I mentioned above and more, but I believe they can be Stopped and we have a lot of help from large organizations like, The Heritage Foundation, Judicial Watch, Hillsdale College and the ACLJ just to mention a few of many, so we can’t give up as some commenters have suggested, the fight ain’t over, until it’s over. obuma is in bed with Iran, and I believe it’s all about Money and many already wealthy people gain to make a lot more money, people of the Left are quick to attack Capitalism and they take their view’s to their people, that Capitalism is evil and so on while their counting their Billions and Millions, that the people they represent will never see. Our alley is Israel and we must not forget that and like I said the Iran deal is all about money, and we must continue to try and STOP the run away government. I suggest to keep signing petitions, calling your representatives and raise as much Hell as possible, we will not go down without a Fight.
We need a renewal of those type of men, who drafted our Constitution! They are still there but not speaking out and have learned to hold their tongues and wait far too long! Many phases have swept America and this old man is waiting to see a new one start! I fear that the new one might get out of hand, the time for it is close and getting closer each day as some new outrage is voted into law without the consent of Congress or the People, for they have the power to fend off the continuance of those legislative blunders. However, If Obama is worried about his legend and recognition in America History. It will be known as the Presidential term which brought those dreaded assassinations, back into the nation’s headlines of our too silent newspapers, who once led Americans into a nation of Freedom and earned it the title of “The Home of the Free and the Brave! Now, our papers are all
turning toward Socialism, or call it what we may. Could it be the people will be driven to open the new “Age of Assassination?” America, use the power of your vote to rid the sloth actions of our politicians! Vote those bad actors totally out of Washington and draw up and legislate into laws which liberate us from the giant lobbyist faction that is obviously but one more thing to be vanquished in our once proud national City by the Sea!. Make sure any former politicians do not return to serve again, or join any lobbyist for no less than 25 years. Speak softly, but carry a big stick! Veteran’s and all Patriots flood those poles or lose the rest of your freedom! Pay more attention to politics than the sports section of your local newspaper, news!
