2008 ??
AHHH, which POTUS signed this bill into law in 2008?
Need to look this up.

[EBH]

The bill was important enough to override a presidential veto,

No President signed it.

FTA: “Of note, the Farm Bill of 2008 was passed over President Bush’s veto.”

What needs to be looked up and why, exactly?

Remember the rats were in charge in both houses thanks to those who sat on their behind in 2006 because they wanted to punish the GOP.

President Bush vetoed the bill but it was overridden twice. First in May 21, 2008: Vetoed H.R 2419 2007 U.S. Farm Bill Overridden by House, 316-108 (283 votes needed). Overridden by Senate, 82-13 (64 votes needed). Enacted as Pub.L. 110-234 over the President's veto. Due to a clerical error, this act was repealed by Pub.L. 110-246.

Then again June 18, 2008: Vetoed H.R. 6124 2007 U.S. Farm Bill. re-passed by Congress to correct a clerical error in HR 2419. Overridden by House, 317-109 (284 votes required). Overridden by Senate, 80-14 (63 votes needed). Enacted as Pub.L. 110-246 over the President's veto.

In 2008, the House and Senate were led by dems. This appears to have been inserted in the bill in a sleazy way.

You can bet that Bush didn’t read it and neither did anyone else. LOL

If I’m reading this properly it was passed over a presidential veto, and who were the majority parties in the house and senate?
