It will be days before Congress receives the full nuclear agreement with Iran and all of its classified annexes for review, but hawkish GOP lawmakers instantaneously began picking apart the final deal reached early Tuesday as “dangerous” and a “possible death sentence for Israel,” Politico reports.
“The GOP-led Congress plans to review the deal for two months before voting on whether to lift sanctions sometime in September.”
First Read: “If Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval (from both the House and Senate), and sends it to President Obama’s desk for his signature, it would start another 12-day clock which gives Obama the ability to veto the resolution. After President Obama presumably vetoes the resolution, Congress would have 10 days to attempt to override the veto, which would require a two-thirds vote from both chambers.”
