Kirk Statement on Filibuster of Resolution to Disapprove Iran Deal
Statement
Issues: Foreign Affairs
U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) today issued the following statement after 42 Senators voted to prevent final consideration of H.J. Res. 61, the joint resolution of disapproval on the Iran nuclear agreement:
"Today a partisan group of 42 Senators who support the Iran nuclear deal blocked the Senate from voting on the agreement. If supporters of the deal continue to block a vote until September 17, the President will not have to veto the resolution sent him by a bipartisan majority opposed to his nuclear deal. The American people deserve to know if their elected representatives support sending $100 billion to the biggest state sponsor of terror in the world."
