When Did Congress Vote to Approve $1.7B in Cash For the Obama Admin to Pay Iran?

As if the news about the obama admin paying a $400M ransom in cash in foreign currency to Iran wasn't bad enough we have now learned the an additional $1.3B in cash was paid too!

The failed arms deal excuse behind this payment is absurd, the Shah fell, the regime we had a deal with in 1979 no longer existed. Furthermore with the proxy war the US has been fighting against Iran since the 70's that money belongs to America over the blood and treasure spilled! At the very least the money should go to the embassy prisoners and victims of terror attacks sanctioned by the Iranian regime.

America you're rightly outraged over this and only one question that needs to be answered by Congressional leadership (ie Speaker Ryan, Senate Majority Ldr McConnell and House Majority Ldr McCarthy) is WHEN did they have a vote to allocate said funds IN CASH from the Treasury for the obama admin to pay Iran pursuant to Article 1 Section 9?

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."

The House voted against the Iran deal, while the Senate voted to block a republican resolution to reject the deal.

"Republican John Cornyn of Texas said the pact was not legally binding beyond President Barack Obama's final term in office. "This is not a legal document; it’s not a treaty. It’s a political agreement," he said. "And so I hope the next president understands that he or she will have complete freedom to tear this deal up and negotiate a better deal.” ~VOANews

Take your anger and direct it at Congress. Once again they have ceded power to the Executive Branch to withdrawal our money to pay a ransom to a dangerous regime... this is their fault!

Obama Paid $400 MILLION Ransom in Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed

The obama regime airlifted $400 million cash in Euros, Swiss Francs and other currencies on pallets to get American prisoners freed allegedly "to settle an old failed arms deal". So much for US policy not to negotiate with terrorists as this was most likely a ransom being paid by the worst admin in US history! The obama regime time after time bows down to our enemies setting a dangerous precedent that we can be bullied and manipulated into submission. This is why we are not respected around the world and our enemies are emboldened.

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.

The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi..more
