Former President Barack Obama stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Thursday, where he all but invited a wisecrack about former President Donald Trump. Polls in key swing states such as Pennsylvania remain tight, and Trump's numbers have improved in recent weeks. The Harris campaign is hoping Obama can help turn out votes
Congress extended it. Obama simply didn’t veto it. Perhaps that makes him complicit but it sailed through the Senate in a 67-32 vote which is likely to never happen ever again and a veto would only get overridden by Congress, which makes a President appear weak.
No perhaps. He spoke against. Under his presidency the added rolling phone taps. That is just as bad as W. I guess he is a little better because he didn’t lie about an attack on America to pass it.
What would you have liked him to do in order to stop it from passing?
Obvious answer here is veto.
You literally cannot veto anything that passes with 67 of more Senate votes.
A veto wouldn’t have made a difference.
Yeah, that’s just enough to be a super-majority
