Congressional leaders from both parties, including the Senator who sponsored the bill, expressed doubts over the wisdom of a new bill which allows 9/11 victims' families to sue foreign nations over their involvement with the attack. The leaders are worried about a possible situation where foreign citizens could sue the United States over possible wrongdoing, especially relating to the US Military presence overseas. President Obama vetoed the bill, citing these same objections, but the veto was overruled, a rare occurrence.
