Bill would force president to report to Congress on nuke deal

House lawmakers are readying legislation that would force the Obama administration to report to Congress about the progress of Iran’s nuclear program and whether or not it is complying with the interim nuclear accord, according to a copy of the bill obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The legislation is being viewed as a bid to legally force the White House into sharing information and provide oversight over the Iran deal, the text of which the Obama administration has kept locked in a secret location.

The new bill, authored by Rep. Jackie Walorski (R., Ind.), would mandate that President Barack Obama immediately report to Congress on the state of the interim nuclear accord and Iran’s nuclear program.

The bill also would require that the White House report to Congress about any final deal it may strike with Tehran.
