President Barack Obama and other top officials have been in near constant communication with House and Senate Democrats, through group and one-on-one interactions, to urge them to support the P5+1 deal with Iran and vote against the resolution of disapproval put forth Tuesday by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce.
Bob Corker, Royce’s opposite number in the Senate, said he will introduce a companion version of the disapproval measure later this week.
Members of Congress and their staffers tell us that the White House has asked Democrats who are expected to oppose the deal to hold off on announcing their position until September, when Congress will be focused on the agreement.
