What's the full story? The full story was that in 1999 the Republicans had a veto overriding majority in Congress. John McCain's top economic advisor Phil Graham authored this legislation and pushed it through.

President Clinton trying to be centrist did sign the legislation but it would have been put into effect regardless.

Republicans came up with it... pushed it through and proudly announced they would override a Presidential veto if that were to happen.

Full story...
