The administration has threatened to veto the bill over this extraneous rider, and there are too many important initiatives in the bill for that to happen.

We've tried to keep the bill free of extraneous spending.

I'm offering to sign a bill and not veto it.

He cannot veto the bill until it gets to his desk, ... It may not get there for a couple more weeks and in that time period, we're doing everything we can to communicate with him.

We're not going to be delivering a bill to the president's desk that is veto bait.

If the bill returns to the same form it was in last year, the governor will veto it again.
