Since this is legislation, not a treaty, doesn’t it have to make it through the House also?

No, the agreement goes into effect automatically on September 17. The House is raising the issue that since they have not received the entire agreement as required in Corker-Cardin, the 60 day clock has not started ticking. Therefore, the Congress-imposed sanctions cannot be lifted on September 17.

No doubt Obama will lift them and then the GOP controlled Congress must decide what to do about it.
