I bet the President will Veto

This anti-gambling bill. I think they are playing this out so vegas can get in position to buyout some of these moms and pops online operations. I think they are gonna let us be concern, angry, and upset. And at the last minute the President will say he don't want this bill attached to the port security bill. And people will be happy as hell and support him right into elections.

HEADLINES: BUSH VETOS HIS FIRST BILL: INTERNET GAMBLING IS TOSSED OUT.

LET'S SEE IF IM WRONG;

Is there anything to suggest this legislation is unpopular among non-gamblers (i.e. the voting majority)? That's a neutral question as I don't know either way and haven't seen any polls on the issue.

Fingers crossed you are right...but forgive me if I'm sceptical. I'm not sure "he" even reads these Bills before he signs them off

correct me if im wrong but i believe bush has only vetoed one bill, a stem cell research. I dont think this is going to be #2. I wouldnt hold your breath on this.

There is no chance he would veto a port security bill. In fact he really wants to sign it quickly with the elections coming up and all.

However, I do think the bill leaves the door open for US interests to enter intrastate online gambling at some point in the future.

The foreign online gambling firms never set up operations in the US. Therefore few Americans have a real stake in the current situations and only a small minority of folks really care about this.

Does the President have authority or right of veto over specific sections of a bill (such as an Intenret gambling unrelated attachment) or must he either accept the entire Bill before him or reject it in its entirety?

Edited to add that I would be surprised if Bush did not sign this in.

He must accept the entire Bill or Veto the entire Bill.


Bush is going to sign this Bill into Law, there is no doubt about it, Bush is even 'eager' to sign this Bill.

This anti-gambling law will go into effect, the only thing that will stop it now is the world coming to an end in the next couple of weeks.
