It's easy to vote 'yea' on something that you know will never become law. Even if the House would have approved it AND the Senate it would just get vetoed by Obama.
I remain hopeful. And I hope this at least signals to the executive branch that maybe, just maybe the legislative branch has balls. We just need to keep the pressure on them and just keep pushing for it. Call your congress critter today.
This would be extremely important. At the moment Obama's principle seems to avoid the subject as much as possible. And if it is addressed just blaming the "system". By vetoing it he would take personal responsibility for this scandal, something he will try to avoid at all costs.
Would it be as easy as you say to veto this? There would be a HUGE uproar across the country if this had passed both houses of Congress and got killed by the Commander and Chief.
