Obama can act on Iran deal even if Congress disapproves
The September vote on the Iran nuclear deal pits Obama against Congress yet a disapproval vote would not stop the White House. He could act on his own to begin implementing the accord, subject to sanctions and potential veto overrides, while face criticism. The president could suspend sanctions by executive order, remove Iranian banks from lists, and coordinate with Europe, though Congress retains authority to repeal or alter sanctions.
