US Congress Rejects Obama Veto Of 9/11 Bill, In First Override Of Presidency by Ussyberry(m): 8:26pm On Sep 28, 2016
Congress on Wednesday overwhelmingly rejected President Obama’s veto of a bipartisan bill letting families of Sept. 11 victims sue the Saudi Arabian government, in the first successful veto override of Obama’s presidency.

Marking a significant defeat for the White House, the House ensured the bill will become law after voting 348-77 to override Wednesday afternoon. This followed a 97-1 vote hours earlier in the Senate.

Despite last-ditch warnings from the Obama administration that the legislation could hurt national security and was “badly misguided,” lawmakers dismissed the concerns.

"This bill is about respecting the voices and rights of American victims," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said.

Lalasticlala come ans see this news, the implication of this development is that Saudi can now be sued by US citizens over 9/11.

As you know, many conspiracy theories have been propounded that the 9/11 attacks was an inside job, maybe Saudis who feel insulted will commission big budget investigations into the attacks and this would eventually provide more insights into events that happened that day.

So Lalasticlala, as I was telling you earlier, you can check this link to buttress the point I made earlier on the backlash that this veto may bring.
