Cruz writes letter to President Obama, demands that he block the UN from taking up the nuclear deal
Obama should send the letter back to Cruz unopened and tell him to shove it up his ass.....
------------------------
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is threatening to block State Department nominees, or halt department-related funding, unless President Obama blocks the United Nations from taking up the Iran nuclear deal until later this year.
Cruz, a 2016 presidential contender, sent a letter to the president Thursday saying the U.N. Security Council shouldn't take up the agreement until after Congress has been able to review and vote on the deal.
"I ask that you provide written assurances that you will take all necessary steps to block any UN Security Council resolution approving the JCPOA until the statutory timeline for Congressional review has run its course," Cruz said in the letter. "Until you provide such assurances, I intend to block all nominees for the Department of State and hold any legislation that reauthorizes funds for the Department of State."
Cruz's letter comes as the Obama administration has circulated a draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council, with a vote expected next week.
