You do realise that this clause was piggybacking a budget and that the priority was the budget at the time, not that specific clause right? You do know the meaning of compromise as well as give and take, do you not? That measure was also passed with overwhelming approval (93 to 7) in Congress, which means even had Obama veto'd that bill, they had more than enough votes (Two thirds are needed) to overrule that veto.

Please redirect your ire to your member of Congress, tyvm.
