U.S. Legislators Looking To Move U.S. Embassy In Israel

09.14.11 | Sarah Harnisch

The United States is working on a bill to move the American embassy to Jerusalem. A bill is circulating the U.S. House of Representatives that would strip the president of his power to waive a law requiring him to move the embassy to Jerusalem-- because it's expected the president would veto the bill. Right now, the embassy is in tel Aviv. The bill has 42 co-sponsors, and is heavily supported by the Christian community.
