Obama now has 34 Senators supporting the Iran Deal - GOP will not be able to block it

Obama secures Iran nuclear deal with Barbara Mikulski vote - CNNPolitics.com

In a major victory for President Barack Obama, Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland announced support for the Iran nuclear deal Wednesday, providing the White House the votes it needs to prevent Republicans from scuttling the agreement.

The announcement means that at least 34 senators -- the number required by the Constitution to sustain a veto -- will back Obama's expected veto of a Republican resolution to disapprove of the deal. Mikulski is retiring at the end of her term.

While majorities of both the GOP-controlled House and Senate are poised to vote against the agreement, supporters of the multinational accord that aims to curb Iran's nuclear weapons program are also hoping to get the 41 votes needed to filibuster the bill and prevent it from even getting to a final vote in the Senate.

Secretary of State John Kerry said the administration will continue to try and push support for deal past the 34 votes they now have "until the last moment."

"Thirty-four votes are obviously enough votes for the president's veto to be upheld," Kerry told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "That is not satisfactory for us. We do want to try to go further. We'll continue to persuade."

Obama's expected veto of the GOP effort to derail the Iran deal will therefore be sustained.

The GOP has lost this battle.

Traditionally, once the 34th vote comes on board, a couple of others do as well, so I expect this will climb to at least 36.

End of story.

Yes. Obama has won it for the Iranian mullahs. He will no doubt be well rewarded by them.

That is weird. You are making no sense at all.

Uhm, no.

But please, by all means, enjoy your endless butthurt over yet another GOP loss to Pres. Obama.

From Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution…

He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur…​

He's only halfway there. He needs two thirds of the Senate—66 senators—to support him, in order to make a valid treaty.

Like I said, hope it happens in your neighborhood and not mine.

I was responding to Crusaderfrank's statement...

Your neighborhood. Maybe your block. Maybe your own house.

Thank you for providing a beautiful example of Liberal double-talk.

Your lack of response and your silence speaks volumes about you. I said "Hope it happens in your neighborhood and not mine" in response to Crusaderfrank's statement "First time any Iranian money funds a terror attack they should be be rounded up as traitors"

It's pretty obvious that you don't like to admit to the possibility of an Iranian-funded terrorist attack in your neighborhood, even though you have no problem freeing up over $100 billion which they could use to fund such an attack.

You probably weren't aware of this but in the pre-holocaust Nazi Germany of the 1930's, there were actually some Jews who thought Hitler was the cat's pajamas. You would have fit right in with them but unfortunately, they learned otherwise.

If you're a bee, you gather honey.

If you're a democrat, you engage in treason - it's just what you do..

[airplanemechanic]

I must ask this of all of the liberals. This is an honest question.

Why would you be happy that we are striking a deal with a country that is a state sponsor of terrorism and is known to have sold weapons and such that have been used to kill our troops? They also held hundreds of Americans hostage illegally for 444 days? I'm curious how this equates to someone that you do business with. They didn't do one thing really bad and then never again, like Japan or Germany, they did many bad things and continue to this day. They say they want us and our allies wiped off the map.

So why grin when our president strikes a deal with a country like this? What is your rationale? What is your reasoning?

My silence means I was away from my computer. I have a thing called a life, and I live it.
I come and go as I please, because personal liberty and all.
Since you are stupid, I doubt you will understand this.

The rest of what you wrote is bullshit. It's just more COn-scare bullshit, as usual.
