This argument is deceptive and unpersuasive. Any diversion to attempting a new bill would mean further delays and uncertainties In protecting the concerned Chinese students. Moreover. starting over with a new bill would create real risks that this Immigration protection would get wrapped up In the entire question of proposals for economic sanctions. This risk Is doubly present when any new bill of ours reaches the other body. where such a proposal would be subject to all kinds of nongermane amendments. jurisdictional disputes. filibusters. second conferences. and other complications. By resolving this veto override. we are recognizing that the Presidents veto. under the Constitution. is meant to give Congress a clear choiceshould the Emergency Chinese Immigration Relief Act. exactly as both Houses already voted for it. be enacted despite the Presidents objections? Let us answer that question with a clear "yes."
