'Supreme leader' Obama criticizes foes of Iran nuclear outline, says Congress has limited role. (Wapo).
President Obama said Saturday that he looks forward to engaging Congress in the coming week, not on the specifics of the framework agreement over Iran’s nuclear program, but on the “narrow question” of “what’s Congress’s appropriate role in looking at a final deal” to be negotiated by the end of June.
