McCain: Further actions to be taken if Trump doesnt enact Russia sanctionsBY KTAR.COM OCTOBER 24, 2017 AT 4:15 AM
PHOENIX Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has continued to voice his frustration with President Donald Trump over his administrations continuous delay in implementing sanctions on Russia.
According to The Daily Beast, McCain told reporters on Monday that if the Trump administration does not cooperate with implementing sanctions on the Russia defense and intelligence sectors then further actions need to be taken.
The Trump administration was expected to announce the implementation of these sanctions by Oct. 1, after Trump signed legislation in August that strengthened and expanded sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea.
The bill was drafted with the intent that Trump would punish Russia for its tempering in the 2016 presidential election.
But, according to the publication, Congress is essentially powerless in compelling the executive branch to follow through on the law it forced [the administration] to sign.

Congress passed a law
Trump signed it
The law is valid
If someone does not follow this law
they are breaking the law
An arrest should be made
No one is above the law
