IRAN DEAL IS A DONE DEAL
President Barack Obama has secured the support of 34 Senate Democrats for the P5+1's nuclear non-proliferation deal with Iran.
That means that the White House has secured enough Democratic support to veto a Congressional attempt to block the deal.

Secretary of State John Kerry held a press conference today in Philadelphia in order to dis-spell deal myths, and to highlight details and benefits of the deal. Video here: http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/02/politics/i...tain-veto/
So, the Iran deal is a done deal. Still, it would be better for the Obama administration if it did not require a veto to make it happen.
In order to avoid veto necessity, the White House is working to get at least 41 senators to back the Iran deal. The Democrats would then be able to filibuster legislation opposing it and block the disapproval measure from making it to the Senate floor at all.
