“President Barack Obama has rejected his first piece of legislation from Congress, a stopgap spending bill that never had to take effect. The White House on Wednesday said Obama exercised his right to send back to the Capitol a temporary appropriations bill that lawmakers passed in case a winter storm about two weeks ago would have prevented them from approving a final measure to fund the Pentagon next year. The Dec. 19 blizzard didn’t keep them away from the Capitol and they approved the $626 billion defense spending bill before the previous budget expired.” (12/31/09) Link: http://tinyurl.com/yfctzo7 Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
