President vetoes Deficiency Appropriation bill over election law changes
The President returns the Deficiency Appropriation bill to the House with objections voting that attaching broad permanent legislation to an appropriation bill endangers executive discretion and constitutional powers. He notes the bill primarily funds payments to U S Marshals and deputies but condemns tacked provisions on election law repeal and modification as improper. The veto cites long delay and urgency of needed funds while warning against hasty legislature through appropriations.
