As part of the last-ditch effort to snarl the deal, the House on Thursday adopted a resolution on a vote of 245-186 saying that Obama had not complied with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act.

The vote is largely symbolic because the White House won enough support from Senate Democrats to prevent the vote from derailing the agreement and, in fact, serves as a rebuke of Obama.

The House is also planning to pass another resolution which will forbid the president from lifting any sanctions on Iran until after the 2017 inauguration.

On Wednesday night, the House Republican conference stayed late and constructed three measures over the Iran deal. Four Senate Democrats joined with 54 Republicans who voted to move forward.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted to reject the global deal with Iran to curb its nuclear weapons Friday, after a morning of emotional debate.

President Barack Obama’s controversial Iranian nuclear deal is moving forward unchecked by Congress.

McCaul argued the pending nuclear deal – which the U.S. negotiated with China, France, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom – will aid Iran’s support of terrorist groups.

All of the leading candidates for the Republican party’s presidential nomination oppose the Iran deal.

“Do not sacrifice the safety, the security and the stability of 300 million Americans for the legacy of one man”, Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., said as he stood next to a photo of the old World Trade Center towers burning on September 11, 2001.

In blocking the Iran nuclear deal, the House Republicans asserted that the agreement will only empower the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. “Although the agreement is not a perfect solution to a complex problem, I believe the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is the best option in order to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons”. Time and again, they have proven their hostility toward the United States, our allies, and the cause of freedom. The bill was introduced by Mr. Zeldin and Peter Roksam of Illinois on Wednesday night, and will be voted on in the House on Friday.

Democratic leader in the Senate Harry Reid said that the vote was “clear, decisive and final”.

“Right in the language, it said codicils and side deals”, Donovan noted.

Switching votes would be “a dumb thing for someone to do, and I have a bunch of very smart senators”, said a triumphant Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., speaking to reporters after Thursday’s vote.
