The United States House of Representatives on Friday rejected the nuclear accord with Iran, though the move is a symbolic one that will have no consequence for the implementation of the deal.<br />Taking a different approach from the Senate, where Democrats on Thursday paved the way for the nuclear deal to move forward by filibustering a disapproval resolution, the House instead voted on a resolution to approve the agreement, according to a report in the Guardian.<br />The resolution failed 162-269, with not a single Republican voting in favor and 25 Democrats joining them.<br />The measure was expected to fail, given Republicans who control the chamber have been uniformly against the deal that was negotiated between Iran and six world powers.<br />House Republican leaders decided to pursue the approval resolution as a way to effectively force Democrats who had voiced support for the president to formally register such endorsement.
