President: I Won't Sign Any Bill to Repeal Obamacare
- Thread starter Jedi Knight

Perhaps, perhaps not.
I certainly hope that a possible (certain?) veto does not become the criteria for the legislature to decide what bills to send for the POTUS signature.
If that is the case, a fantastic election has just self-destructed.
He's under no obligation to sign any bill. His lack of signing is not an impeachable offense.
There are procedures in place to override a veto.
Could He be stopped?
He can't be stopped from vetoing, no.
I guess I didn't get your post.....I meant what can the Senate and House do to stop him.
No, they have no legal authority to stop him from vetoing a bill.
Ok,lets say he vetoes a bill....could they do anything or is it gridlock city all over again?
If they can muster up 2/3 support in the House and Senate they can pass the bill. Here's a good overview on how the veto/override process works:

I could have goggled but thanks for the info! :type: There is a fork in the road...Obama said he can executive order but Mitch M. said that's like waving a red flag in front of a bull. What "Hypothetically" could happen if they crossed swords?

As if we expected he would sign a repeal. And I don't know about peeling off 10+ Dems in the Senate for a veto override.
Not a chance.
The Republicans know they can't repeal ObamaCare in its entirety. They can't pass a bill that is aimed to wave a magic wand and have the ACA disappear. But they can chip away at it with bills to repeal portions of it.
The medical devices tax is an area where the Republicans could get a veto override majority in the Senate. I'm in Minnesota, a state with a lot of high-tech medical companies and uber-liberal senator Al Franken and liberal senator Amy Klobuchar have both said the medical devices tax needs to be changed. Both are Democrats.
Another area that could be repealed is the mandate that employers with 50 or more employees must offer insurance to their employees. That number could be adjusted upwards, say, to 100 employees. I think there might be support for that among 10 Democrats, which would get the numbers needed to override a veto.
Who really knows what the GOP will get done besides actually working together both the house and the Senate.
Right now the Dems are licking their wounds as they have seen the biggest Democrat defeat in their lifetime.
The GOP needs to make whatever they do politically expedient for the Prez and the Dems. The Prez has surrounded himself with yes men and he is an idealogue so it is less likely to move on anything.
However, the Dems in the House and Senate are not in such a bubble. I think it is possible to get them to move on a veto override if it is seen as politically expedient. Right now that is more possible than ever as they will be somewhat sensetive due to this recent defeat.
