Prior to a debate in the House of Representatives on US President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear agreement this week, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made clear that the American people oppose the deal, and Republicans will continue “to do all we can” to stop it. Following are Boehner’s remarks:
“In all my travels over the last month, the issue I heard about the most was the issue of the Iran agreement.
“Listen, this is a bad deal. Most Americans oppose it. Most Members of Congress oppose it – including the top Democrats on the Foreign Affairs Committee in both the House and the Senate.
“At this point, I think the president has lost this debate with the American people. He lost it the moment that he agreed to a deal that allows Iran to stay on a path to develop a nuclear weapon.
“We’re going to do all we can to continue to try to stop this bad deal.”
