JASTA: Congress May Be Experiencing Buyer's Remorse Over Sept. 11 Bill; Lawmakers May Address The Issue Again In November

Congress may be considering a do-over now that it has overridden President Barack Obama’s veto of the bill that allows victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.

Congress voted to override ( 97-1 in the Senate and 348-77 in the House) Obama’s veto Wednesday. By Thursday, both House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the bill might have unintended consequences — exactly what Obama argued in issuing the veto.

Supporters argued the bill was about pursuing justice for Sept. 11 families.
