In this July 16, 2015 photo,Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., speaks during a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. Democratic lawmakers say they’re going to make those 60 days reviewing the nuclear deal with Iran count. That’s how long they will have once the White House transmits the agreement to Congress.
