Doesn't the president have veto power? Seems kind of silly to make a law that says Obama can't do something when he can just veto said law.

- BHSPitMonkey 10y agoCongress can override a veto with a 2/3 majority.
- marcoperaza 10y agoIssuing a veto makes it front page news. I'm not sure the democrats want to be seen as handing over the internet to dictators and theocrats, over the objections of Congress, in an election year. The White House has only gotten so far on this because it hasn't broken into the political consciousness yet.
