The Iran Deal Sucks! Can/Will Congress Stop It? (includes Entire Text of Deal)

Republicans have warned that the accord will face a wall of resistance in the GOP-controlled Congress

Implementation of the accord depends on whether Mr. Obama can retain the support of enough of his party’s lawmakers in the face of what is almost certain to be widespread GOP opposition. Congress is expected to review the agreement and vote on it in early September, and the initial Republican reaction signaled deep resistance to the deal.
The prospect that the GOP-controlled Congress will try to block the deal puts Mr. Obama in the familiar position of trying to minimize defections from his own party and leaves Democrats considering whether they can back an agreement vilified across the aisle.
“The deal that we have out there, in my view, from what I know of it thus far, is unacceptable. It’s going to hand a dangerous regime billions of dollars in sanctions relief while paving the way for a nuclear Iran,” Republican House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Tuesday. “If in fact it’s as bad a deal as I think it is at this moment, we’ll do everything we can to stop it.”
Under the deal reached Tuesday in Vienna, Iran accepted strict limits on its nuclear activities for 10 years. These are intended to ensure the country remains a minimum of 12 months away from amassing enough nuclear fuel for a bomb.
