On the recordSeptember 26, 2002
I have heard this debate. It reminds me of why I didn't go to law school. It is easier to hire people with the expertise of the Senators here who have gone to law school to try to explain this than it is to understand it yourself. I have a very simple question coming from a more simple attitude about this whole thing. Is it not true that the President of the United States has said he will veto this bill if it has this in it? If that is the fact, it doesn't matter if we have 99.400-percent agreement on everything else. The legislation is not going to go forward. I ask the Senator from Tennessee, who is in closer touch with the White House than I am, if it is not true that the President said he will veto this bill if this is in it?
