On the recordSeptember 18, 2015
Last week, the House of Representatives thoughtfully voted three times to oppose the Iranian nuclear deal. This bipartisan effort represented the will of the American people, where the majority oppose this deal. The first vote was a sense of Congress that the President failed to comply with the law to submit all agreements to Congress. The second vote was to defeat the deal, and the third vote was to prevent the President from lifting sanctions on Iran until 2017. I am grateful to Chairman Ed Royce for his leadership in holding hearings and advancing legislation to fight this dangerous deal. Sadly, they are blocked in the Senate by Democrats who fail to see the threats of ``death to America,'' ``death to Israel.'' This is a historic mistake. The President is flooding billions of dollars to the Iranian regime to fund terrorist attacks and has paved the way for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The President's legacy in the Middle East, failing to enforce the red line in Syria, has led to the refugee crisis and chaos, with children drowned at sea. American families deserve peace through strength. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
