House might cancel vote on Iran disapproval bill
WASHINGTON
Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives are weighing the possibility of abandoning a disapproval resolution for the Iran nuclear deal, as doubts grow that the legislation has enough votes to even clear a procedural hurdle, a Republican leadership aide said on Wednesday.
The House was on a path to vote later on Wednesday on the rule for debating the measure, a procedural step that would have cleared the way for passing the resolution of disapproval later this week.
Now, Republican leaders are weighing other legislation as well, instead of the disapproval bill, the aide told Reuters, adding no decision has been made.

Please proceed. If no vote is taken before the 17th, the deal is adopted without a need for a veto

So now they will pull something out of their vast asses to pass instead that will allow them to pretend to their ever gullible "base" they are doing something....when they are doing nothing at all.
What a total waste of taxpayer money the Tea House has become.
