Recommendations
Although the arguments in favor of a veto are persuasive,
I believe you should give consideration to signing this enrolled
bill.
The arguments in favor of signing this bill are more political
than programmatic. It is not good legislation, but I think
you could sign it and not be inconsistent with your vetoes on
other matters nor weaken your arguments on issues to come
before the Congress in the coming months. As OMB notes, since
full implementation of the provisions of the bill would not take
effect for some time, you could sign the bill and then recommend
amendments that will maintain the appropriate division of Federal
and State and local government roles.
It is a very close decision, but I recommend you sign the enrolled
bill and issue a signing statement which indicates in strong terms
your concerns and your intention to recommend the law be amended.
A proposed signing statement is at Tab B.
Decision
