Update on the New Plan on the Iran Deal

—Ace

That plan is outlined here:

 

My source tells me House GOP opposition to going forward under Corker-Cardin is so strong that Boehner agreed to drop this process and instead adopt a different approach with three House resolutions.

 

The first would declare that President Obama violated Corker-Cardin by failing to provide the side deals to Congress.

 

The second will bar President Obama from lifting sanctions against Iran.

 

The third will be a resolution outside of Corker-Cardin to "approve" the Iran deal that all Republicans will vote no on. Most Democrats will vote yes.

 

My source says the following:

 

This is "real" in the sense that this is being pushed forward by people who seem to actually want to stop the Iran deal. So this itself isn't Failure Theater.

 

It would not restrain Obama from doing the things he can do on his own initiative, such as waiving sanctions.

 

However, many on the GOP Establishment side of things say that everything can be done by executive action, so this is "the best the GOP could do." Not true, my source says.
