veto

The Montana legislature is out of session, but legislators will still be casting votes at least till the end of June.

Montana's State Auditor and Commissioner of Insurance Matt Rosendale, is calling Governor Steve Bullock's veto of House Bill 652 an act of 'petty politics'.

The Republican-led House passed a $10 billion budget bill just hours after Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock threatened to veto it for failing to fund critical services such as protecting children from abuse.

The U.S. Senate could not muster enough votes to override President Obama’s Veto on the Keystone XL pipeline today. Senator Steve Daines tried to rally votes, accusing the president of political games.

The Republican-controlled Congress has cleared a bill approving the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. That sets up a confrontation with President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto the measure.

Gov. Steve Bullock has vetoed nine more bills and issued a line-item veto for a tenth from the recently ended legislative session.

The bill would have made it illegal for Montana authorities to enforce any unconstitutional federal gun bans or restrictions, but was it merely an act of political theater?
