Well, what they're actually saying is that it's buried in the omnibus appropriations bill. Obama can't line-item veto the bill, so he has no choice but to send it through or veto it and cripple the government over one line in the bill.

People tend to forget that the President's power is much more limited than the PM's is in Canada, at least in a legislative sense.
