Rubio Fights for Amendments to Iran Bill

Published



Florida senator Marco Rubio went to the Senate floor on Wednesday to push for votes on amendments to legislation concerning a nuclear deal with Iran. “If you don’t want to vote on things, don’t run for office,” Rubio said. “Be a columnist. Get a talk show.”

Rubio has introduced several amendments, but he tried to get a vote on just two this afternoon. One amendment would prohibit sanctions relief for Iran until Iran had fully implemented all requirements outlined by the White House on April 2. The other amendment would require Iran’s leadership to recognize Israel’s right to exist.
