► President Obama on Friday signed into law a bill barring terrorists or others deemed to be threats to the United States entry to the country to serve as ambassadors, Time reported. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), is a response to Iran selecting Hamid Aboutalebi as its ambassador to the United Nations. Aboutalebi allegedly participated in the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. The White House had already announced that a Abutalebiwould be denied, Time reported. The bill is the Cruz’s first legislation to be passed by Congress and signed by the president. Obama issued a rare signing statement as he signed the bill into law, saying he was concerned it could infringe on his executive authority.
