Ford veto stops Hatch Act repeal bid
President Ford vetoed a bill to repeal the Hatch Act ban on partisan activity by federal workers, preserving a 35 year old restriction. He argued the act protects public interest and guards against political coercion, noting most federal employees support restrictions while allowing limited participation like voting and attending events. The veto follows narrow Senate and House margins failing to override.
