The 9/11 bill states that families of 9/11 victims can sue Saudi Arabia to get legal justice. This is Obama's first bill to be over-rided in his presidency. Obama warned Congress that with this veto that it could be devastating to the Department of Defense. He was also worried that it could effect their relationships with foreign countries and communities.
To me, I don't understand how you can sue a whole country. The whole country of Saudi Arabia didn't plan to do 9/11, a specific group IN Saudi Arabia did. The whole bill seems really broad to me, like there is so much that the victims could take advantage of or they could get seriously in trouble. The victims and families of victims are supposed to sue another country for an act that a group of terrorists did. What kind of money could they get from them? And why is it the country's fault? I don't think American's should be able to sue another country, it's not fair to the innocent people that are just bystanders in the situation.
I do believe that some repercussions will happen because of this situation. The power a country has is much stronger than some people from America. It's dangerous that we are suing a country that we are already not on good terms with, we do not know how they can react to the lawsuits. To me, there is a lot of things that are just not mentioned with this bill. The United States could be making a mistake, or they could of made a great choice. We just need to see how it plays out, and get more details on the specifics of this bill.
