After a bitter fight in the Senate, it's time for the House to decide how it wants to handle nuclear negotiations with Iran.

The upper chamber voted 98-1 on May 7 to approve legislation giving it the power to review and potentially reject a final deal, but not before hawkish Republicans made clear their anger at being barred from offering a slew of amendments that could have derailed the talks. Now that fight moves to the House, where Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has said consideration of the bill could start this coming week.

The bipartisan legislation, sponsored by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., gives Congress 30 days to decide if it wants to disapprove of a final deal, which would bar President Barack Obama from lifting statutory sanctions. Such a vote would almost surely draw Obama's veto, and already Republicans are considering other options such as a doomed resolution of approval that would send Obama a clear political message without directly impacting the talks.

Meanwhile, the Senate Armed Services Committee takes up its version of annual Defense authorization legislation that has already cleared the equivalent House panel. The Senate panel under Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., will notably have to decide how to handle the House version's controversial provision to arm Kurdish and Sunni militias directly.
