Hill: "President Failed to Comply' with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act

Statement

Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Res. 411, Finding that the President has not complied with section 2 of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015:

"This Administration has a terrible habit of bypassing the Legislative Branch to impose its will on the American people. In an attempt to avoid this very situation with a potential Iranian Nuclear Deal, four months ago, Congress passed the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. It was supported by 177 House Democrats and was signed into law by the President. There is no ambiguity in the bill's language; the State Department was required to turn over the entire nuclear agreement, including any agreements made between Iran and other parties. The President failed to comply with the law and once again is prepared to move forward with a major policy without Congressional approval.

"I do not understand how any member of Congress can agree to support a nuclear deal with such high stakes without having seen the deal in its entirety. This is extremely irresponsible, and I encourage my Democratic colleagues to stand with the Republicans and demand that the secret side deals be released so that we can do our jobs and fully review all the contents of the proposed nuclear deal."
