Senate Blocks GOP Measure Against Iran Nuclear Deal –Move ends opponents' chances of unraveling international agreement | 10 Sept 2015 | The Senate on Thursday narrowly blocked a measure aimed at derailing the landmark nuclear accord with Iran, effectively ending a bitter, partisan fight in Congress over the deal. The 58-42 vote clears the way for President Barack Obama to implement an agreement seen as the foreign-policy capstone of his second term without the embarrassing spectacle of a veto war with the GOP-controlled Congress. Sixty votes were needed to advance the disapproval resolution. The procedural motion was opposed by all 42 members of the Senate Democratic caucus who backed the nuclear deal.
