First, I apologise if you've replied to me in between this post and my last.

I think he should veto it.....but I'm not going to commit suicide if he does because I don't know whether he has the authority to or not, unless he is SURE, and I do not know how he could be unless it goes in front of the USSC.

I'm not going to commit suicide either.
But, the deal is, he's the President.
He doesn't have to SURE.
If he exercises his veto power based on his OPINION that the 30/60 day portion of this bill is unconstitutional and sends it back to the House, it would appear from the previous votes, that the Legislative branch wouldn't be able to override.
It then puts the onus on them to remove that portion from the bill.

Will they fall on their swords to keep that portion?

Fall on their swords? Aren't you funny today!

BTW, I have heard over and over that the votes ARE there to override it. They want to be able to say that they TRIED, and couldn't care less what position they have put Bush in.
