Wilson vetoes new army bill over articles of war clash
President Wilson vetoed the army appropriation bill due to forced exemptions from discipline for retired officers included by House conferees led by Representative Hay. A new bill to be reintroduced may delay adjournment as Hay plans to push it under a special rule. Senate leaders warn reinsertions of articles of war could revive debate and complicate passage.
