Both chambers of Congress plan to begin debate next week on a resolution disapproving the Iran nuclear deal as President Barack Obama locked up enough Senate votes to keep lawmakers from scuttling the deal.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to fellow Democrats Wednesday that she learned from Speaker John Boehner that the chamber likely will begin considering the bill Sept. 9, about a week earlier than she expected. The Senate will also start debate next week, said Antonia Ferrier, an aide to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
