RE: While Everyone Was Enjoying Christmas and Not Paying Attention, President Obama JUST NOW Signed The Worst Law of His Presidency
your 'news' isn't especially accurate...while you seem to be doing some useful work, you need to be more fully informative in order to appear even-handed and 'factual'..... "Congress passed the military funding bill on December 14, leaving a deadline of December 26 for Obama to sign or veto the legislation. The president chose to sign, rather than let it become law without his signature."
Er...if the president doesn't sign it, like throws it in a drawer and blows it off or something it doesn't become law, it's called a pocket veto and it would go back to congress and they would have to pass it by 3/4 majority to override that veto and become law. The term pocket veto stems from the president not taking action ether way, not signing or vetoing it, he in essence puts it in his pocket and I believe in 14 days it becomes a veto.
I don't think so - in this case, several news sources stated the above quote. I'm fairly certain it would have become law without his signature. It's a HUGE military funding bill.
