Senate, in 99-0 Vote, Sends Iran Sanctions Bill to Obama’s Desk
(CNSNews.com) – Despite Iranian complaints and administration arguments that the move is unnecessary, the U.S. Senate on Thursday approved legislation extending the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) for another ten years – by a vote of 99-0.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont did not vote.
The Iran Sanctions Extension Act [1], which passed in the House in a 419-1 vote a fortnight ago, now goes to President Obama’s desk.
Unlike other pending Iran-related legislation, the White House has not indicated that Obama would veto the bill – the scale of support indicates a veto would be overridden in any case.
