WASHINGTON — The House is continuing to flex its muscles on the Iran nuclear deal even though the Senate has already sealed its fate in Congress.

Senate Democrats voted Thursday to uphold the accord with Iran, overcoming heavy GOP opposition to hand President Barack Obama a victory on his top foreign policy priority.

A disapproval resolution for the agreement fell two votes short of the 60 needed to move forward as most Democratic and independent senators banded together against it.

House Republicans will continue today to further eleventh-hour strategies to derail the agreement and Senate Republicans are promising a re-vote. But the Senate action all but guaranteed any legislation disapproving of the deal will never reach Obama’s desk. The debate comes on Sept. 11, anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks.

Undeterred, Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, said on the House floor that House Republicans are going to “use the judicial branch of the government” to prevent implementation of the deal, which gives Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for imposing restraints on its nuclear program.

“What part of ‘Death to America’ do you not understand?” Farenthold asked. “The Iran deal is a bad deal and it needs to be stopped and we are fighting here in the House of Representatives to do that.”

On Thursday, the House adopted a resolution on a vote of 245-186 saying Obama had not complied with the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. Supporters of the resolution claim the act required the president to supply Congress with all documents relevant to the deal, but the administration did not give lawmakers texts of two agreements the U.N. nuclear inspection agency negotiated separately with Tehran.
