TheIran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 (INARA) (H.R. 1191,Pub.L 114–17) is a bill that was passed by theUS Congress in May 2015, giving Congress the right to review any agreement reached in theP5+1 talks withIran aiming to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
The bill passed in the Senate by a 98–1 vote (onlyTom Cotton voted against), and then passed in the House by a vote of 400–25 on May 14.[1] PresidentBarack Obama threatened to veto the bill, but eventually a version arrived that had enough support to override any veto and Obama did not try vetoing it.
Larry Klayman filed a lawsuit, alleging that the law was an unconstitutional abrogation of theSenate's Treaty Power. The lawsuit was dismissed for lack ofstanding.[2]
A group of Republican Senators said an agreement to return to theJoint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) required congressional review under INARA, while others said the JCPOA has already been through such a review.[3]
