“I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina and also my colleague from Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise to express my deepest concern that the President of the United States is signing an agreement with a leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. This administration has collectively created a pathway for Iran to create a nuclear bomb. This agreement endangers the lives of Americans by providing billions of dollars in sanctions relief for Iran to continue killing Americans. The lack of adequate safeguards and controls in this plan that literally allows Iran to choose if and when they agree to verification is deeply troubling, and it should be to every American, especially when we start by lifting sanctions without any verification. Also, let's not forget that by lifting the weapons embargo, Iran will increase their stockpile of missiles, ICBMs, directly from Russia--able to strike this homeland and other more advanced weapons that will lead to an arms race in the Middle East. Once again, the President is bypassing the American people by threatening a veto of any legislation that comes from here that would curb his agreement. The President of the United States continues to reject the will of the American people. As this unrest continues, the United States has to maintain our rich partnership with our allies, including Israel, sitting directly in line with Iran.…”
