Senate Republicans Move to Mandate Congressional Approval for New Iran Deal

A measure in the Senate would require the Biden administration to obtain congressional approval before inking a deal with Iran, according to a copy of the draft amendment obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The amendment would establish a significant roadblock in the Biden administration's bid to reenter the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. As negotiations in Vienna with Tehran and European nations progress, the Republican-backed amendment would prevent the Biden administration from signing any new deal without Senate approval. With the body divided along party lines, it is likely the amendment will be broadly supported by the GOP and opposed by Democrats, who largely support the administration's effort to grant Tehran billions of dollars in sanctions relief. It is unclear to what bill the amendment will be attached.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) spearheaded the amendment, which is already cosponsored by James Risch (R., Idaho), Ted Cruz (R., Texas), Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), and John Barrasso (R., Wyo.)—all of whom are on record as opposing the Biden administration's diplomacy with Iran.

Shouldn't international treaties by ratified by the US Senate anyway?

Wasn't this thing written on the back John Kerry's martini napkin?

Why is it a good idea to let the Iranians to sell more oil to fund the enemies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Huothis) of our (sometimes) allies (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirayes, Israel)?

Actually, I thought the Constitution already required the Senate to ratify treaties. 

But the Constitution is a dead letter and has been since Obama, isn't it?

If they aren't allowed to sell oil to fund international terrorism, Obama, through Biden, would resume cash payments, by the planeload, to finance Hamas.
