Question, Jake: why should the President be allowed to veto a bill and the Senate not be allowed to override it? Seems like this could be used by Presidents to kill bills they don't like without having to risk veto overrides by simply waiting until right after an election...

I could ask you the same thing about why the Senate could wait until the very end to approve a bill. The only answer is simple, that's the rules and procedures we operate under.

But shouldn't the bill die at the end of a Senate then? Or else the outgoing Senators should be allowed to vote on it? This seems like a rather authoritarian grant of power to the President then...

My point remains.

It was answered above. The term expired before the bill was even presented to the president for his signature, meaning it goes into the expired legislation thread.

So technically there was no veto then either?
