Tom Cotton..the lone dissenter on the Iran bill.

Senate votes 98-1 and the bill now moves to the House.

Lone wolf Cotton.

Washington (CNN)The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill Thursday to give Congress the authority to review an emerging nuclear agreement with Iran, despite vocal opposition from some conservative Republicans who said the bill was not strong enough.

The vote was 98 to 1. The lone dissenter was freshman Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a staunch advocate against an Iran deal.

Next, the measure will go to the House, which plans to take it up next week. If passed there, it would go to President Barack Obama, who has said he would sign it so long as it didn't change dramatically from when it was approved a few weeks ago by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a rare unanimous vote.

Cotton has burned through all his credibility within 4 months, shattering even the record of Cruz.
