Defends amendments to Iran legislation

Makes Statement0 Comments

Rubio defends the two amendments that he wants to be added to proposed legislation on Iran nuclear deal.

I by no means endorse the plan outlined in the fact sheet, but the fact that they are saying it is a poison pill to require the president to sign a deal that reflects what he says the deal is, is in and of itself incredibly worrisome.

He also makes it clear that he doesn’t wants the bill to be defeated.

I doesn’t want the bill to go down…It’s not perfect, it’s better than nothing, and it creates a process by which the Senate can review what the president does.
