CBS – The Senate on Friday overrode President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act, the $740 billion defense policy bill. This veto, in the waning days of Mr. Trump’s presidency, marked the first time Congress has voted to override him.
Mr. Trump wanted to repeal the social media liability shield outlined in Section 230, but several members of Congress, including some Republicans, argued that the repeal of that portion of the Communications Decency Act was not relevant to national security. Mr. Trump also vetoed the NDAA because of a provision on renaming bases honoring Confederate officials.
