I'm expecting that there will be an authorization for the use of military force sent up here in the coming days. And we're going to go through a rigorous set of hearings and continue to discuss it, it is also going to be incumbent upon the president to go out there and make the case to the American people.

Listen, this is a bad deal, and most Americans oppose it, i think the president has lost this debate with the American people. He lost it the moment that he agreed to a deal that allows Iran to stay on a path to develop a nuclear weapon.

It's pretty clear, given the number of days we have here and in September, that we're going to have to do a CR of some sort, but no decision's been made about that. We'll deal with it in September when we get back.

Representatives Speaker John Boehner

Some neutral third party is going to have to make some decisions about what documents are quote 'personal' and which ones are public record.

Representatives Speaker John Boehner

We do have some members who disagree from time to time over the tactics that we decide to employ. But remember that Republicans are united in this idea that the president has far exceeded his constitutional authority.

The House has done its work. And when the Senate does its work, we'll let you know how we're going to proceed.

Representatives Speaker John Boehner

Until I see what they're going to pass, no decision has been made on the House side, it's time for the Senate to do their job.

Jordan is one of our staunchest allies in the region, there's an awful lot of things already in the pipeline but speeding that process up through the bureaucracy would certainly help the Jordanians in a time of significant need. And I think, frankly, all of Congress would support it.
