Keystone, Veto Threats, And Constitutional Headscratching When is a Presidential veto threat not a Presidentail veto threat? When it is presented as reported by The Hill: The White House said on Tuesday that President Obama would veto legislation that approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline if it passes Congress. If this bill passes this Congress the president wont sign it either, White House press secretary Josh Earnest vowed Tuesday of the pending Keystone legislation. The WaPo had this: President Obama would veto a bill that would allow for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, the White House said Tuesday. If this bill passes this Congress, the president wouldn’t sign it, said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. The NY Times also ran the wont sign language. Until we see the full transcript (WhiteHouse.gov) for more context, that is the best weve got. And its not good enough!
