A rare bipartisan consensus is forming in the Capitol: Any final nuclear agreement that President Donald Trump strikes with Iran this year must get a vote in Congress.

Republicans who pressed Congress to debate then-President Barack Obama's nuclear deal 11 years ago say the law requiring congressional review of US-Iran nuclear accords will apply to anything Trump settles on during the 60-day negotiation window.

Democrats agree, and some even argue that Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran — which Congress still hasn't seen — should be subject to congressional debate.

The only real daylight between the parties on Iran is over whether the White House will take congressional consideration seriously, as Republicans hope, or try to ignore the Hill, as Democrats anticipate. Trump said on Tuesday he would send any future agreement to Congress, but it's not clear how lawmakers might hold him accountable if he changes his mind.
