Chuck Schumer bucks White House on Iran

quote:
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, one of Capitol Hill’s most influential voices in the Iran nuclear debate, is strongly endorsing passage of a law opposed by President Barack Obama that would give Congress an avenue to reject the White House-brokered framework unveiled last week.

The comments Monday by the Democratic leader-in-waiting illustrate the enormity of the task ahead for President Barack Obama and his team: While there’s no guarantee that Congress would ultimately reject an agreement with Iran, there’s an increasingly bipartisan consensus that Congress should at least have the ability to do so.

“This is a very serious issue that deserves careful consideration, and I expect to have a classified briefing in the near future. I strongly believe Congress should have the right to disapprove any agreement and I support the Corker bill which would allow that to occur,” Schumer said in an emailed statement to POLITICO.

[quote]“I read what the president said last night, looking for a way to work with Congress on that. They are now in a realistic position: That Congress is going to weigh in,” said Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who co-wrote the bill while making technical consultations with the White House. He called Obama’s tone in that interview “just a recognition of the reality of the situation” on Capitol Hill.

Came out in Support of Corkin Legislation
Gillibrand D-NY
McCaskill D-MO
Manchin D-WV

Cardin D-MD could be the key person on the Bill.

Schumer and Kaine have been out in front of this for a few weeks.

Bunch of racist teabaggers. They just don't want a black President to accomplish anything. Sick that they would put party over the good of the country. Logan Act rabble rabble.

Chuckie hasn't been paying attention to Sen Mendez's plight.
How soon until the DOJ has him under investigation?
My call is less than a week.
