Congress Returns to Tight Deadlines, Key Votes on Iran Deal, Planned Parenthood

By Published on September 8, 2015

Congress returns Tuesday to face several key decisions and short-term deadlines — including votes on the Iran nuclear deal and a spending bill that if connected to efforts to defund Planned Parenthood creates the potential for another government shutdown.

The House and Senate could vote as early as this week on the Iran deal.

Both GOP-controlled chambers are expected to pass motions of disapproval for the deal. But President Obama is expected to veto the motions and ultimately complete his historic foreign policy deal because neither chamber has the two-thirds majority to override the presidential veto.

Republicans argue the deal, in which Iran will curtail its nuclear development program in exchange for the easing of billions of dollars worth of economic sanctions, gives too many concessions to the rogue nation.
