I would like to ask the gentleman what would happen over in the Senate if Harry Reid were to allow for a vote on, let's say, the Menendez-Kirk language on tougher sanctions if Iran leaves the negotiating table? Mr. DeSANTIS. Well, I think that not only would it pass the Senate-- and we already know in the House it is a clear veto-proof majority here--I believe we would see a veto-proof majority. And not just the bare 67 for that, I think you would see over 70 Senators vote for that. And that is why it is important for us to make our voice heard because look, the President is the President. He has certain foreign policy prerogatives, but he is way out of step with the American people and with the Congress on this issue. And I think this has gone on long enough. I think we need to make our voice heard.
