Thune Statement on President’s NDAA Veto

“At a time of numerous threats to our nation, a presidential veto of this critical legislation is unconscionable.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today released the following statement after President Obama vetoed the bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

“Today the president demonstrated he is willing to put politics ahead of the security of our nation by vetoing this bipartisan bill. This veto jeopardizes funding for the Long Range Strike Bomber and readiness for the B-1B bombers based at Ellsworth Air Force Base, as well as additional funding that our military needs to protect our country. At a time of numerous threats to our nation, a presidential veto of this critical legislation is unconscionable. Members of Congress must now work together to override this dangerous veto and provide our troops the support they need.”

  1. Quit whining and do something. How come you guys are always folding. Forget the press releases and just lead.
