    I am in favor of the veto. We need to hold our government bodies accountable for their actions, othewise we could or will become a nation of leaders who persecute and or kill those that ask questions or demand accountablity for thier actions. Do we as a nation want to take a chance of becomeing what we have fought so hard against for all these years. Ex. WW1,WW11, and conflicts in the last 30 years. If we do not stop these people who would tell us how to act and think we will fall into a nation of chaos.
