                  CONGRESS DESERVES VOTE ON IRAN DEAL

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the President has put at 
risk the safety of American families and of America's allies, 
especially Israel and Arab nations, by entering into a meaningless 
framework with an untruthful regime.
  Senator Joe Lieberman, in a recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, 
reminds President Obama that the sanctions he is conceding were put in 
place by a bipartisan coalition in Congress. The article by the former 
Democrat Senator explains to us of a powerful time in history when 
leaders of both parties worked together to ratify arms control 
agreements in Congress during the cold war. We did not neglect our 
constitutional principles then in the face of World War III, nor should 
we now for an agreement that will allow Iran to have nuclear weapons in 
the future.
  Our Founding Fathers were purposefully unclear on the powers of 
foreign policy in order to prevent one person from ruling without 
restraint. President Obama should submit his agreement with Iran for 
congressional approval. I appreciate the bipartisan efforts of Senator 
Bob Corker and Senator Bob Menendez.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
