What are veto threats and why do presidents issue them?
What will be an ideal response?
A veto threat is a statement by the president (sometimes but not always public) to veto a piece of legislation if it comes to his desk. Reasons for doing so include protecting administration priorities, defining party positions/differences, and encouraging negotiations/concessions. Measures prompting veto threats are actually highly likely to eventually become law in some form.
