The US senate has overridden Obama’s veto of the bill that makes it possible for Americans to sue the Saudi Arabian government for the 9/11/01 attacks on America, clearing the way for a vote in the House of Representatives to make the bill law.
US Senate Vote Overrides Obama Veto On 9/11 Bill Allowing Americans to Sue Saudi Arabian Government
America’s Terrorist In Chief Obama vetoed the bill to protect his terrorist friends in Saudi Arabia from being held accountable for the death and destruction they caused on 9/11/01, but the US senate voted 97-1 to override Obama’s veto.
The ONLY dumb fuck who voted against the American People’s rights to hold the Saudi Arabian Government were corrupt piece of shit Harry Reid, and America’s Oval Office Terrorist Obama vetoed the bipartisan bill. Democrat losers Tim Kaine and Bernie Sanders skipped the vote.
Even Chuck Schumer voted for the bill, and said “It’s very simple. If the Saudis were culpable, they should be held accountable. If they had nothing to do with 9/11, they have nothing to fear”
IF Obama isn’t a terrorist sympathizer, then why is he protecting the government who sponsored the 9/11 terrorists?
The Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to overturn President Obama’s veto of a bill letting families of Sept. 11 victims sue the Saudi Arabian government, bringing Congress within reach of completing the first successful veto override of Obama’s presidency.
The Senate voted 97-1 to reject the veto. The measure heads next to the House, where lawmakers will need to muster a two-thirds majority, as in the Senate, to override.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., speaking on the Senate floor moments before Wednesday’s vote, pushed back hard on Saudi government objections to the legislation, which has broad bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.
“It’s very simple. If the Saudis were culpable, they should be held accountable. If they had nothing to do with 9/11, they have nothing to fear,” Schumer said.
The lone “no” vote was Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
An override now appears all but certain and would mark a blow to the president in the final months of his term.
A group of senators pledged to find ways to improve the measure during a postelection, lame-duck session of Congress. With elections just over a month away, many lawmakers are reluctant to oppose a measure backed by 9/11 families who say they are still seeking justice 15 years after the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
The White House was still fighting the override attempt in the final stages.
In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Reid, Obama warned the bill could cause chaos in U.S. foreign affairs, as other countries would use the measure to justify the creation of ways to target “U.S. policies and activities that they oppose.”
“As a result, our nation and its armed forces, State Department, intelligence officials and others may find themselves subject to lawsuits in foreign courts.” Obama wrote in a letter delivered Tuesday.
But one of the bill’s leading proponents, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, dismissed Obama’s concerns as “unpersuasive.” Cornyn, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, and other supporters said the bill is narrowly tailored and applies only to acts of terrorism that occur on U.S. soil.
“This bill is about respecting the voices and rights of American victims,” Cornyn said.
