President Barack Obama’s unpopular presidency has been filled with controversial moves — and it seems lawmakers have had enough.
In a public and embarrassing rebuke of Obama’s orders, Democratic and Republican congressional leaders combined forces Wednesday to finally push back, handing Obama the first veto override of his presidency.
Congress voted overwhelmingly to allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts for its alleged backing of the attackers.
It’s about time lawmakers prioritized the American people over foreign interests.
Both the House and Senate voted decisively to reverse Obama’s decision to scuttle the wildly popular legislation. Democrats in both chambers abandoned the president in large numbers despite warnings from Obama and top national security officials that flaws in the bill could put U.S. interests, troops, and intelligence personnel at risk.
The Senate vote was 97-1, with only Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., backing the president. The House vote a few hours later was 348-77, with 123 Democrats rebuffing the president and voting to override.
Lawmakers said their priority wasn’t Saudi Arabia, but the 9/11 victims and their families who continue to demand justice 15 years after attackers killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, the Washington, D.C., area, and Pennsylvania. Fifteen of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis.
“Overriding a presidential veto is something we don’t take lightly, but it was important in this case that the families of the victims of 9/11 be allowed to pursue justice, even if that pursuit causes some diplomatic discomforts,” said New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, a chief sponsor of the bill.
Republicans and Democrats said the White House had miscalculated lawmakers’ intent to act on the legislation along with the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks. When Obama and senior national security officials such as Defense Secretary Ash Carter finally weighed in, it was too late.
The Senate passed the bill by voice vote in May. The Obama White House then made the mistake of thinking the bill would stall in the Republican-controlled House. In August, 9/11 families pressured Speaker Paul Ryan, while he was on a campaign swing in New York.
On Sept. 9, two days before the 15th anniversary of 9/11, the House passed the bill by voice vote with little debate.
Despite reversing Obama’s decision, a bipartisan group of 28 senators led by Bob Corker, R-Tenn., suggested that defects in the bill could open a legal Pandora’s box, triggering lawsuits from people in other countries seeking redress for injuries or deaths caused by military actions in which the U.S. may have had a role.
Corker, the chairman of Foreign Relations Committee, chided the White House for being outraged over the outcome when the administration did so little to sustain the president’s veto.
“There was zero desire to sit down and talk about a way to get to a better outcome. Zero,” Corker said. “To my knowledge, I don’t know of a call from Obama to a single senator over this.”
In a letter sent Tuesday to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Obama said the bill would erode sovereign immunity principles that prevent foreign litigants “from second-guessing our counterterrorism operations and other actions that we take every day.”
But proponents of the bill dismissed Obama’s concerns as unpersuasive. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, and other supporters said the bill is narrowly tailored and applies only to acts of terrorism that occur on U.S. soil.
Families of the victims and their attorneys dismissed concerns over the legislation as fearmongering. “We rejoice in this triumph and look forward to our day in court and a time when we may finally get more answers regarding who was truly behind the attacks,” said Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.
The legislation gives victims’ families the right to sue in U.S. court for any role that elements of the Saudi government may have played in the 2001 attacks. Courts would be permitted to waive a claim of foreign sovereign immunity when an act of terrorism occurred inside U.S. borders, according to the terms of the bill.

Small potatos smack down for this veto compared to all the illegal abuse of power bo E.O.’s that congress has let bo get away with for 7+ years of treason against U.S Patriotic Citizens while supporting illegal foreigners & muslims along with terrorist enemies … !
TLC says
You’re right, but at this late date, after all the abuse he has heaped on us and our constitution, I will take even the little victories with some satisfaction.

Finally Congress is doing it’s job. They should have slapped the Sh@t out of Obama when he tried to break the first law. Go Trump.

Right on target ED and Trump is a last “Hope” to “Change” the U.S.A. back to a “One Nation Under God” With government for & By the U.S. Patriotic Citizens through our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights …. !

Some in senate or congress are worried about opening the US up for other law suits from past wars….
Hell what would they get we are the one country that is Broke….. The other countries would have to sue the Clinton Foundation, Wall Street, Soros, they seem to be the ones who have any money to sue for.. and they are spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to bash Trump, so i guess they really dont need the money any how ….Betting on a dead horse Hillary who will never be able to return the favors.
Trump/Pence welcome to the white house a well deserved new tenants to start with.
Kathy says
This is true and the families should sue the Clinton Foundation and the Bushes and Cheneys and Roosevelts and rothchilds and on and on. The Saudis were not responsible for the 911 disaster. That would be all of the above along with the cia, fbi and all the other government agencies that carry out overt actions for the wealthy elite…
Jim Galloway says
Sister- You were correct that the Saudis were not responsible for the 9/11 disaster. However, the rest of you comment is in ” left field”! Sorry! Jim Galloway, New York

Congress is not done yet……. working on the Clintons and the corrupted FBI,DOJ,AG. Maybe we will see an impeachment of Obama in the near future, before the middle of 2017

Well will congress stand up to Obama on giving away our INTERNET FREEDOM? If congress does NOT act before Oct. 1, in 2 days, OUR internet is given to the GLOBAL COMMUNITY! Mark my words, if we lose control of OUR internet, our accts. will be censored, then silenced…..all at great cost as there will be a huge TAX to pay for using OUR internet…if we are approved.

Obama is a traitor to this country, lies about Islam and lies that he is a citizen. I believe Obama was born in Kenya and his grandmother said so when questioned years ago.
David Vranish says
Agreed 100%. The News didn’t mention that the Congress bent over and held their ankles on the budget thing! They even included money for hundreds of thousands killer refugees from Syria! Why should we vote for them? Oh yes, so Trump has a chance to straighten this country out. But we must pick these RINO’s off little by little through the coming years!

Not only that but it was NOTHING but a distraction to keep us from learning that they are allowing him to give control of the internet to foreign governments. SO LONG FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND CONTENT!!!!

Diane Smith says
Obama is a traitor. Her has thumbed his nose at the American public while he commits treason and otherwise gives aid ($ trillions of our money) to the enemy. I believe Congress only now is standing up on this 9/11 suit because they want to keep- their jobs. Where are they when it comes to stopping this villainous POTUS – when he orders advantages for his muslim brotherhood at every juncture ?

Yes and something should be done about it , its about time someone had some guts in the govt and held him accountable for his all this CRAP. !

Jim Galloway says
I would like to give you a seminal: I am an American. If I and a few other Americans went to France and shot up the people there; because we just don’t like them, would that mean that the French Government would have the right to sue the United States because the ones who did this massacre happened to be Americans?
As it appears to me, our Congress did not have their “thinking-caps” on when they made the decision that Americans can now sue the Saudi Arabian Government for the 9/11 disaster!

Constitutionalist says
Jim-
IMO, there are MANY VERY bad things that the Shrub did which have yet to be accounted for, including MILLIONS of emails “lost.” He encouraged the Unconstitutional shredding of most of the Bill of Rights via the USA PATRIOT act, one of many pieces of legislation that LIED in it’s very NAME during his maladministration; he got rid of Posse Comitatus, which had prevented US troops from operations against US Citizens in America(him and Jim Warner, the sell-out CongressCretin from Virginia); he let war-profiteers charge the USG EXHORBITANT amounts in both Iraq and Afghanistan for NO work or extremely SHODDY work; In short, he did everything possible to ignore restrictions on the power he exercised via the Constitution, and treated it like it was used toilet paper.
Not to mention that he’s an idiot, manipulated and controlled by the Evil Cheney throughout most of his occupancy.
It has come to light that there were SEVERAL “practice runs” for 911, which accounts for his lack of reaction and his continuing to sit with elementary school students once informed; he had to be told “NOT a drill” before he was run off to a “secret location.”
Then too, he authorized the use of DU(depleted uranium) ordinance in Iraq, which is directly responsible for thousands upon thousands of Iraqi children being born with horrific defects to this day, which is one of several reasons the International Court in The Hague has convicted him and many of his staff as War Criminals; there are many countries to which he cannot travel TO THIS DAY for fear of arrest for his war crimes.
i’d strongly suggest getting another hero.

I wish congress would undo his law that removed the main ingrediant for making gun powder,

The most hateful, biased, racist POTUS that ever had the privilege to live in The People’s White House. He was right in 2009 when he boasted, “I Won.” The People lost. Big time. Twice. And, Hillary Clinton has the hubris to call Trump racist! Trump wants to keep America safe. Apparently, she doesn’t care about the people, it’s all about her winning. I guess it’s a liberal thing. Vote smart…THIS TIME.

The FIX is already in so how are the votes going to be checked for honestly?? Do you want someone with her mental issues running our country?? I hear she has cancer and if that is true then she needs to prove it is not true. I want TRUMP. Who do YOU want??
TLC says
I want my free republic back the way our founding fathers intended it to be. I want the fed closed down and the government involvement in our lives minimalized. I also want Obama and most of his administration to stand trial for treason. I’m voting Trump, I really would love to see Trey Gowdy run.
Ann says
Trump, I pray every night that he gets to become our new Pres. And proves to all that he will make America great again!!!!! Our country lost all respect from other nations, they are not afraid of us anymore and we are not the leader of all nations.

I want TRUMP !!! Let’s get rid of the Obama’s and the Clinton’s then revoke every stinky law Obozo has passed, then start getting rid of the traitors that make up our government, they are not worthy of the money they are making nor the benefits.

Did you see the pictures of her doubles? The fellow proved that she has doubles by comparing pictures. I noticed some of this (how she looked so wrinkled and old some days, and so young other days. Brown eyes one day, blue another. Drab hair and clothes one day, nicer another. Thinner some days than others.)
I was shocked when I came across this article. Amazing. She even lies about her appearances by putting someone in her place. Two news sources announced that she died on 9-11 and then retracted them. Why were they on in the first place? The Democrats are more devious than one realizes. God help us!

Edgardo Perez-De Leon says
Obama’s behavior with the 28 pages of the 9/11 Congressional Report hidden from the public and 1000s of pages of investigations and the veto to JASTA, passed unanimously in the Senate and the House, are tantamount to treason, placing the interest of the terrorist before the US citizens. The next step is impeachment for treason and send him to prison with Hillary. King George VI of England was forced to abdicate for his sympathies to Hitler. Just sympathies. Obama deserve more than force his resignation.
Daniel Spickard says
He needs to be strung up on the White House lawn for his acts of treason against the people of the United States of America! I for one would be the first to throw a party to see this happen! And now you know why he’s been so adament about shutting down Guantanamo Bay, Cuba! He knows that if the people woke up to what this traitor was doing that he would end up spending the rest of his life down there, and you know what, he’s right!
Richy. says
King George vi did NOT abdicate. He led the British throughout the war, and on until his death in Feb 1952. He was succeeded by his daughter, the current Queen Elizabeth II.
The king who abdicated was Edward viii, who abdicated in 1936, not because of sympathies with Hitler, but because he wished to marry a divorced commoner, the American Mrs Wallace Simpson. English law at the time prevented the monarch from marrying commoners, and particularly divorced commoners. During the war he was made Governor of the Bahamas, where he remained until wars’ end. He was loyal to Britain throughout that time. He then retired to, and lived in France, until his death in May 1972. He is interned at the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore, Windsor.

Good for the 9/11 families!! And wow- a bi-partisan vote at that!!
BUT WAIT, we will not totally celebrate until he is completely out of office- he never deserved the prestige of this role! In my opinion he has been the worst president in history!!
Time for Trump to come in and restore “law and order” to the office and make America great again!! God Bless Trump as he will need our support!!

Im so proud of her! May God blass all Americans who like who they are!
Justin W says
This story offered some interesting information regarding President Obama’s general lack of concern over this issue. It sounds like the veto could have been sustained if the president had made half an effort.
Since Iran dislikes Saudi Arabia the override of the president’s veto is a happy time on the streets of Tehran. America’s new best friend Iran can watch the Saudi government defend itself against a host of lawsuits.
By the way, I remember in 2001 the government offered a payout to the families of the Sept. 11 casualties on the grounds they not sue. At the time this was seen as a way of protecting the airline companies whose planes were hijacked. I wonder if those signed agreements will prevent the families from actually suing anyone.

Facts about treason has been so obvious & freedom of speech about truth that the POTUS has done against U.S. Patriotic Citizens for 7+ Years and finally got a small potatoes knock down but has not been indicted for any of his abuse of power … ! Now the U.S.A. has another one that supports bo’s deceit running for POTUS with more libtards supporting her wannabe dictator whims and ways that will continue to destroy the U.S. Conatitutional Freedom & Rights … ! The dem party is now a commie dictator support with muslim terrorist enemies being let into the U.S.& being a known world enemy … ! How stupid … !
patricia says
I am happy that 9/11 victims families may be compensated. Will this screw up the very close relationship between the Bush crime family, the Clinton crime family, the puppet Obama family, the rest of the global elitists and the Saudis? I certainly hope so. Maybe the REAL truth about 9/11 and those involved will come out ( really nothing but a patch of black scorched earth with not a single piece of ANYTHING in a Penncylvania field, the plane over the Ukraine which fell 30,000 plus feet had wreckage screwn over half a mile). The Pentagon ( at least on the first day) also did not have anything and where did the wings of that 757 go, certainly not through that 14 to 16 foot hole in the wall. Oh yes but we did get that wonderful liberty stripping “Patriot Act” to protect us! I am with Ben on this one ” If you are willing to give up freedom for security, you deserve neither and will lose both”. And are we ever losing both. Get rid of that terrorist organization called the TSA.

Now let’s see how he spins it. This is one of the few vetoes that he has a difficult time to make an executive order to overcome. He is the dirtiest, most dishonest and least transparent president ever….not unlike a president in any Central or South American country…..totally and politically corrupt.

Maybe this will be the piece that will cause the truth to come out about who the real players involved in the planning, setup and perpetuating this tyrannical act against the United States of America and her people… I don’ believe that Saudi Arabia will just sit back and take the fall…
Ralph Hollister says
This is the crack in the dam where all the truth about 9/11 is sequestered. If someone sues the Saudis, there will be a trial to determine if the Saudis were complicit which will require an investigation and testimony about what really happened that day. The whole house of cards might come down.
I think many in congress know the attack was a false flag, and while the Saudis were almost surely involved, they aren’t going to keep their mouths shut and accept blame for the whole mess, so this is their (congress’) way of opening a door exposing the real culprits.
James Rogers says
Poor man he got out voted, :-))
Sherylynne says
Harry Reid announced in May, 2015 that he was retiring in 2016. We’re waiting, Harry. By the way, the announcement is irrevocable. The vote results certainly shows how out of step you are with your peers and long overdue for the door..
John says
“There was zero desire (by Obama) to sit down and talk about the bill”. “I don’t know of a single call by Obama to a Senator”……Whenever Obama goes on TV and tells us he is working as hard as he can, everyday, for the American people, this what he actually does. Nothing…For 8 years Obama has not tried to work with the Senate or the House on anything, yet he claims he is working as hard as he can. Right…………….
Sherylynne says
“… Obama has not tried to work with the Senate or the House on anything, yet he claims he is working as hard as he can.” Obama works hard on lip service, not what honest people call work.

Don’t be fooled people, it was only vetoed because of the up coming election, If they were really serious about their jobs they would have ordered Obama impeached long ago and would be screaming to reopen the Clinton email scandal and do some real witch hunting.
I say check your districts and see who is supporting her and then vote against them as this is what I am doing in hopes of getting them thrown out of office. I also have sent emails to all my representatives letting them know if they are supporting Hillary then they are just as corrupt as she is and will be voting against them
Ben says
Obama’s Presidency can be summed up quite easily. “A feast for his enemies, not a crumb for his army.”
female tax payor says
Obama opened the door paying ransom & interest to our enemy under pretense of “justice”. He has no leg to stand on trying to now assert “Justice” for US should not be persued against his pet muslim countries. As for that backfiring, the grain of salt is “alls fair in war” so there will be no backfire there. 9-11 on other hand was not an act during war, so its totally unjust & open to redress. As for retaliation against us for mishaps during peace…the standard of “wiffully knowing-doing with premeditated intent” applies, so don’t see USA falling into guilty category. 9-11 absolutely was done pre-meditated evil intent”… Grow up Obama and stop the Bull Shit!
Marty says
Of course they voted against President Obama; it is close to election time. They can’t take any chances at losing their elections
Hope says
I hope that people are smart enough not to judge them on this one vote but on their total performance. They should all be replaced for not doing their jobs during the last 8 years and possibly before. The next veto override should be against bringing in more refugees w/o being able to vet them properly. Has anyone been designing a proper vetting program? Talk, Talk, Talk.
And the states should follow Texas and refuse to accept any. I am sorry for the people. but they need to go back and change their country not demand their life-style and language in ours.
Politically incorrect says
Hope, I hate to tell you this but people are that stupid because if they are stupid enough support Hillary with her email server and breeching national security and in wanting to bring in 600,000 more Syria refugees without having them vetted then they are stupid enough to vote these corrupt gov’t assholes back in.
Loretta says
And Hillary and Obama somehow plan to get them registered to vote!! How can they vote not being citizens? I heard the other day that Obama granted instant citizenship for some 600 refugees and more are coming??? I thought they are policing these polls and checking IDs. The voting is so corrupt, is what scares a lot of us because we can’t monitor it all. I think a permanent ink should be used (that maybe wears off in a few weeks or something like that) and put on everyone’s index fingers at the polls to show that these people who are voting numerous times or under numerous names, and all fingers are checked before you get to enter voting, just to be safe. You know the Libs are going to be pushing people from everywhere and some dead people will be voting too!!!

“We rejoice in this triumph and look forward to our day in court and a time when we may finally get more answers regarding who was truly behind the attacks,” said Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.2
Surely this is the point, and may prove the real reason legislation for court action against the Saudi’s has been resisted i.e. the jury are still very much out on who actually committed the foul deed. There are many who believe the truth is not the Saudis, and that it will become apparent in court that the real culprits may lie nearer home – if true Obama would do his utmost to see this court action did not take place but could not reveal the reason for his opposition for fear it leaked out and became widely disseminated. Nonetheless the people have a right to know the truth and it is surprising how little genuine investigation has been carried out by successive governments since the tragedy took place.
Roly Luis Sr says
The wheels of justice may roll so slowly on the uphill, seems now poised on the crest and the downward cascade may be so swift and slice injustice like a samurai sword. May President Obama’s head of arrogance and drunkenness be cut short quickly, as in the drop of American Guillotine of Righteousness.
