White House Hints at Veto of Keystone XL Legislation
November 13, 2014
By Taegan Goddard


The White House has begun hinting that President Obama would veto legislation that mandates approval of the Keystone XL oil-sands pipeline, National Journal reports.

“While a Keystone bill may not be able to clear the lame-duck Senate, the legislation will very likely have more than the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster when Republicans take over the chamber next year. But it’s unclear whether the new Senate could muster the 67 votes necessary to override a presidential veto.”

1. Yes, veto it the same day they go on vacation...

Then they would have to come back to attempt an over-ride. That would be fun.
