The House Freedom Caucus grabs the baton from Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio

The Politico – Picking up where Sens. Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio left off, House conservatives plan to press House GOP leaders to allow a series of hard-to-oppose amendments to the Iran nuclear review bill.
The move by the conservative House Freedom Caucus could put Speaker John Boehner in a bind. He’ll have to decide whether to clamp down on attempts to change the bill as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) did in the Senate, angering his right flank — or to allow votes on their amendments at the risk of tanking the legislation authored by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.).
President Barack Obama would be certain to veto the legislation if it’s changed, viewing the conservative add-ons as poison pills.
The legislation is expected to come to the House floor next week.
“The current Corker deal gives the illusion of government oversight while actually just providing political cover,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a Freedom Caucus member, said in an interview. “A number of conservative House members want to encourage our leadership to allow meaningful amendments.”
Freedom Caucus members held a conference call Tuesday evening discuss their plans. One of their planned amendments would mandate that the director of National Intelligence certify Iran has “dismantled its ballistic weapons development and research programs.” Another proposal would require President Barack Obama to “certify Iran has ceased all support and funding of terrorism and terrorist activities.”.
