You like it? But with the pocket veto, Obama isalso asserting a right to veto bills in a way Congress can’t override. When the GOP gets in, and takes both houses, Obama will be able to veto every bill.

How do you like dem apples?

The pocket veto can only be used near the end of a session. I very much doubt that the GOP will wait so late to submit bills to be signed. Of course, if the GOP does procrastinate, then such hypothetical, tardy bills might well have a pocket veto applied.

Also, if the Kenyan Clown does veto any bills in the usual manner, we still won't have the clout needed in both houses to override.
