Today, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), made the following statement in response to White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest's threat that the President will veto the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act.
"It is unbelievable to me that an American President would threaten to veto a defense bill that supports our troops and gives him additional tools to use against aggressors, especially at a time when the world situation is spiraling out of control from Eastern Europe to the Middle East and South Asia.
