House Speaker John Boehner: We will do everything we can to destroy historic nuclear deal with Iran

Source: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

Top US Republicans expressed skepticism about a historic nuclear deal reached Tuesday with Iran, saying it gives Tehran too much room to maneuver and does not safeguard American security interests.

Some in Congress have already said they are prepared to reject the deal because it does not comprehensively halt Tehran’s enrichment process or permanently close the door on its development of a nuclear weapon.

House Speaker John Boehner blasted the deal as “unacceptable,” saying that if it is “as bad a deal as I think it is at this moment, we’ll do everything we can to stop it.”

He warned it would only “embolden” Iran and even could trigger a global nuclear arms race.

was just on the Hill encouraging Democratic legislators to hang tough against Bonehead. All they have to do is not vote with the Orange one and his goal is dead in the water.

There's really no danger of Bonehead prevailing even if he can muster a majority to advocate for disapproval--they need two thirds of both houses to sink this. Not happening.

Obama has said he would veto a resolution of disapproval. Overriding that veto would require a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives — a heavy lift in Congress.


Bonehead is just venting and stomping his little orange foot in frustration. Obama has outsmarted him AGAIN! Darn the bad luck!

We don't need the GOP. We've still got a two party system: Democrats and Corporate Democrats.
