The Senate voted 97-1 to override Obama's veto, and the only "no" vote was from Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The final House vote was 348-77. Democrats voted by a more than two-to-one margin against Obama. [ Source ] View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely only did it to save their jobs this election, knowing that the public is pretty ticked off and will vote accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Can citizens of other countries sue the U.S. for all the deaths we cause in interfering with the world? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is the oil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yeah, my question was always how the families would get their money after suing the Saudis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
