Obama Uses Veto Power For Fifth Time, Vetos Defense Authorization Bill
Obama Uses Veto Power For Fifth Time, Vetos Defense Authorization Bill.
Obama exercised his veto power Thursday for just the fifth time in his presidency, rejecting a defense authorization bill because of the way it would sidestep budget limitations for the military and because it would restrict the transfer of detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay.
The White House said that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would tap an overseas contingency operations account designed for emergencies and war costs and use it as a “slush fund” to avoid budget restrictions. Those restrictions — known as sequestration — would impose offsetting across-the-board cuts if spending passed certain levels.

Remember this when our military ends up needy. It wasn’t Congress.
