article_snippet.sent: Under an intensely debated bill authored by Senate Foreign Affairs Chairman Bob Corker that would give Congress a say on a potential deal aimed at keeping Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon, Obama could unilaterally lift or ease any sanctions that were imposed on Iran through presidential executive means.
article_snippet.sent: But Obama would prohibit Obama for 60 days from suspending, waiving or otherwise easing any sanctions that Congress levied on Iran.
article_snippet.sent: During that 60-day period, Congress could hold hearings and approve, disapprove or take no action on any final nuclear agreement with Iran.
article_snippet.sent: If Congress passed a joint resolution approving a final deal — or took no action Obama could move ahead to ease sanctions levied by Congress.
article_snippet.sent: the White House has said Obama will 'absolutely' veto the Corker legislation if the Corker legislation comes to Obama desk not just because the Corker legislation would allow Congress to thrust the Corker legislation into the deal-making process but also because the Corker legislation would require Iran to renounce Iran terrorist activities.
