Is It The Duty Of The President To Veto Any Legislation That Confounds Individual Rights?


in either domestic and/or military law?
While military custody may be appropriate; indefinite imprisonment is problematic.
“In its veto threat, the White House said it cannot accept any legislation that “challenges or constrains the president’s authorities to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists and protect the nation.” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and FBI Director Robert Mueller have opposed the provisions.
Republicans counter that their efforts are necessary to respond to an evolving, post-Sept. 11 threat, and that Obama has failed to produce a consistent policy on handling terror suspects.
The bill would require military custody of a suspect deemed to be a member of al-Qaida or its affiliates and involved in plotting or committing attacks on the United States. American citizens would be exempt. The bill does allow the executive branch to waive the authority based on national security and hold a suspect in civilian custody….”
It is appropriate to set clear timelines considering charges.http://news.yahoo.com/senate-backs-milit…
