The first pork-barrel bill that crosses my desk, I'm going to veto it and make the authors of those pork-barrel items famous all over America.

He cannot veto the bill until it gets to his desk, ... It may not get there for a couple more weeks and in that time period, we're doing everything we can to communicate with him.

We're not going to be delivering a bill to the president's desk that is veto bait.

The administration has threatened to veto the bill over this extraneous rider, and there are too many important initiatives in the bill for that to happen.

This bill doesn't need a lot of consideration, ... The House has considered it and passed it by large margins in past years. We don't want to take a lot of time away from the (wider Republican) agenda.

No, I don't think it is, at least not any time soon given the tenor of politics in America and the courts in America.
