Who'll Hand Him the Pen?

Congress sent the President an appropriations bill that suggested a
timetable for the withdrawal of US military forces from Iraq. He vetoed it. When
President Bush vetoed the bill, he href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/02/AR2007050202410.html">signed
the veto with a pen handed to him by the father of a Marine
who'd been killed in battle.



Although I disagree with the veto, I do think it was a nice touch for
him to include a citizen in a ceremony that was meaningful to that
citizen.  



It was only the second time Bush has vetoed anything, so these
opportunities do not come up very often.  



Bush may have another opportunity soon...

Today,
the House passed a bill ( href="http://public.cq.com/docs/cqm/cqmidday110-000002503966.html">HR
1592) that would strengthen href="http://www.americanprogressaction.org/progressreport/2007/05/hate_crimes.html">hate
crime
legislation.  Specifically, it would extend Federal authority
to
assist in prosecution of hate crimes committed due to gender or sexual
orientation.  It also would permit Federal authorities to
bring
such prosecutions themselves, even if local authorities do not.



Bush has href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/03/AR2007050300775.html">promised
to veto the hate crime bill if it ever reaches his desk.



What I want to know is, who'll hand him the pen?  The father
of an incarcerated KKK member?

LA Times adds this: Bush threatens to veto expansion of hate-crime law



Just hours before the vote, the White House issued a statement calling
the legislation unnecessary and declaring that that if it reached the
president's desk, "his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the
bill." The House vote fell short of the two-thirds majority that would
be necessary to enact the bill over Bush's veto.

His senior advisors?  Who would those people be?
