Biden hasn't used his veto power once in his two years as President, but that could change in the coming weeks. Three resolutions may soon pass his desk that could force his hand.
Three resolutions that passed in the GOP-led House and appear to have a chance to pass in the Senate have each been opposed by the Biden administration. Here are the moves that could force Biden to whip out his red pen soon.Blocking Washington's crime code revision
The city council of Washington, D.C., voted overwhelmingly to overhaul the city's criminal code by reducing penalties for several crimes, including carjacking and murder, among other adjustments. The new law led to concern over the effects of the bill, with Mayor Muriel Bowser vetoing the bill due to the reduced penalties sending"the wrong message" and arguing it would overwhelm the court system. The city council then overrode Bowser's veto.
A House resolution passed earlier this month in a 250-173 vote, with 31 Democrats joining on, would block the new crime code from taking effect in a few years. All Washington laws are subject to congressional approval due to its status as a federal district. The resolution would only take a simple majority to pass in the Senate and could get a boost after Rep. Angie Craig was assaulted in her apartment building in Washington.
