Representative Frank Lucas Interview

This is not a treaty, a treaty as the Constitution defines it, as something the United States Senate would alone decide and decide by 2/3 vote. This agreement, this deal as the President refers to it, requires a decision by both the House and the Senate, a simple vote in both bodies. Should the House and the Senate reject the Iran deal, then The President most likely would veto the rejection. That would require a two thirds vote in both the House and the Senate to overturn that.
