I don't have the answers to those questions.
"Most observers expect that Congress will vote to disapprove the JCPOA. President Obama has said he will veto such a resolution of disapproval, and Congress is not expected to have sufficient votes to override a presidential veto. In that case, President Obama can carry out U.S. commitments under the JCPOA, including lifting sanctions. If circumstances change, however, and Republicans attract enough Democratic votes to override a veto, Congress could prevent President Obama from lifting statutory sanctions on Iran—those sanctions that have been mandated by Congress, but for which Congress had delegated waiver authority to the president. These are primarily far-reaching sanctions on non-U.S. financial institutions and non-U.S. companies that invest in or do business with Iran’s oil, gas, petrochemical, shipping, and automotive sectors. (President Obama could still lift the more limited sanctions on Iran that he imposed solely by executive order.)"
