Senate Democrats are now faced with a choice: Support President Obama’s diplomacy or vote with Republicans to potentially start a war with Iran. There is no third option. A historic vote on a nuclear deal with Iran is coming. Like the 2002 vote to give President George W. Bush authorization to invade Iraq, Democrats who end up on the wrong side of it will have to answer for their decision for the rest of their careers.

Asking that congress be involved is what that bill is about, not overturning what the President has done. I also suspect that if the parties were turned around, the feelings about this bill would be much different. I think congress should be involved and have a say.
