Enacting JASTA into law, however, would neither protect Americans from terrorist attacks nor improve the effectiveness of our response to such attacks. My Administration therefore remains resolute in its commitment to assist these families in their pursuit of justice and do whatever we can to prevent another attack in the United States. In a statement announcing his veto, Obama wrote, "I recognize that there is nothing that could ever erase the grief the 9/11 families have endured. Fifteen of the 19 terrorists who carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks were Saudi nationals, but the Saudi government denied having anything to do with the attacks. The legislation specifically allowed the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act allowed victims of terror attacks to sue countries that supported terrorism, even if the country was not on a designated list of state sponsors of terrorism. īefore the vote, Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) said, “This is pretty much close to a miraculous occurrence because Democrats and Republicans, senators House members have all agreed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), which give the victims of a terrorist attack on our won soil an opportunity to seek the justice they deserve." It was the first veto override of Obama's presidency. On the same day, the House voted 348-77 to override the veto, effectively making JASTA law. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) cast the only vote against overriding the veto. The Senate voted 97-1 to override Obama's veto of the bill on September 28, 2016. On September 23, 2016, President Barack Obama vetoed S 2040-the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).
