Bush attempts "pocket veto"
Which is just the right thing to do for a "pocket president". And the target is once again his favorite, the military. It seems that after sitting around with his thumb up his ass saying nothing, he has chosen now, when he thinks Congress is adjourned, to not sign the Defense Appropriations bill because of a little noticed provision that could have been eliminated if he had asked Congress to do so. You see, he thinks he can slap around Congress with a "pocket veto" for something he had never objected to before and show them who is boss.
Kagro X over at Kos has noticed something that the White House would prefer we ignore, the Senate is still in session. Our Dear Embattled Leader now has a choice of not signing the bill and letting it become law because the Senate is in session or signing a veto of the Defense bill with the troops pay raises and increased benefits for wounded veterans and all those other things odius ODEL said he wanted. Stay tuned for the next battle for Our Constitution.
