Senate Oversight Required for Any Nuclear Agreement with Iran.

This law mandates that any agreement made by the President with Iran regarding its nuclear program must be treated as a formal treaty. This requires approval by two-thirds of the Senate before the agreement can take effect. Without this high level of Congressional approval, the President cannot lift or ease sanctions against Iran, increasing legislative oversight on national security and foreign policy.
Key points
All future agreements with Iran concerning its nuclear program must be approved by the Senate with a two-thirds majority vote, regardless of whether they are legally binding or merely political commitments.
The President is prevented from unilaterally lifting sanctions on Iran under any agreement unless the Senate has formally consented to it as a treaty.
