Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade here, but from what I understand, Clinton opposes signing any bill that would raise the H-1B cap without the layoff and recruitment attestations in there. Marc -------------- From US Constitution, arcicle I, section 7: "If [the President] approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise reconsider, and if approved by two tirds of that House,it shall become law." |
