Obama Readies His Veto Pen

“Veto brinkmanship between congressional Republicans and President Obama was virtually absent in his first six years in office, but it’s about to unleash itself on Washington,” the AP reports.

“Until now, controversial Republican-backed legislation rarely reached the president’s desk because Senate Democrats blocked it. Starting in January, however, Republicans will control both the House and Senate, and Obama may have to decide more often whether to sign or veto GOP-crafted bills.”
