Today I read an article on CNN titled: Senate to vote Wednesday to override 9/11 Lawsuit Veto. This article is about the bill that 9/11 victims and family that was vetoed by Obama. This bill gives these families and victims the the legal right to sue Saudi Arabia because the terrorist attacks. Obama vetoed this bill because "he did not believe he law would hurt the effectiveness of the administration's action against terrorism by taking questions of foreign states' involvement in terrorism 'out of the hands of national security and foreign policy professionals and placing them in the hands of private litigants and courts."' In order to veto Obama's veto, the senate will need a two thirds vote. People are afraid that if they do sue, it might cause many problems between the countries. If two thirds votes in favor of vetoing the veto, the bill will pass and become legal.
