Assuming this crap passes both houses, can't the President just stick it in a drawer and not sign it?
Harking back to my fourth grade civics class, I think he can either veto it or sign it, but that if he does not sign it, it becomes law after a month or so. If the Congress for that year ends before the time limit for the bill becomes law runs out, then it does not become law. That is called a pocket veto.
It already passed the Senate by 90-9 margin and now it just passed the House, with overwhelming margin, so it's veto proof.
Congress is signing all of us up against our will for a suicide pact. We won't hurt the terrorists, so they can murder us by the thousands at their leisure. Anyone making a darling terrorist uncomfortable will be prosecuted to the full extend of the law, even if it would mean preventing an attack causing mass casualties of innocent people.
Yes, and he has promised to do so!
