I like your thought process. I forgot about overriding the veto. Imagine if that happened. Yeah, you are right. The President has to sign it but with the worded reservations. I am glad you pointed this out. I was awash with Rush Limbaugh and his bashing of Bush.

If I'm not mistaken, it takes a 2/3rds vote to override a presidential veto. That's 67 Senate votes. The bill passed with only 60 votes. I don't think Daschle could muster enough votes to override a Bush veto.
