Senate debate over Iran arms sales tests presidential policy
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee did not oppose the Presidents plan to sell jets to Iran but halted a one year moratorium on such sales. It urged a pause on Persian Gulf arms sales until a two part administration report on impact is received. The piece argues the Senate seeks to shape policy, not pursue consistency, and warns against congressional meddling in foreign policy.
