The longtime Republican lawmaker says he won&#8217;t run for re-election if House and Senate leaders &#8220;treat the Iran agreement as the treaty it is and as the Constitution requires.&#8221;  Gohmert spoke with KTBB after initially announcing his offer while sitting in for talk show host Sean Hannity Friday afternoon.  Gohmert said he&#8217;d file a resolution Tuesday declaring that the Iran nuclear agreement &#8220;is a treaty, and&#8230;that since it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a treaty, the House does not get a vote, but 2\/3 of the Senate must vote for it, or it is not binding on America.&#8221; <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>Gohmert has joined others in voicing continued concerns about the Iran pact, but he says Republican leaders appear lax on the proposal.  He adds, &#8220;Obama and crew have said the Iran deal is not binding so it does not require a congressional vote.&#8221;  Gohmert also says Republican leaders want him out of Congress &#8212; and that his offer gives them a chance to get their wish.  But he also admits there&#8217;s &#8220;a 95 per cent chance&#8221; that they won&#8217;t accept his offer.  Congress gets back to work Tuesday following its August recess, and the Iran pact continues to be a hot topic on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &#8212; East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has an offer &#8212; though he admits it&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;ll be taken up on it.
