I am happy this will happen. I don't see where this would be that much of a positive, and the potential negatives are massive. The gamble isn't worth it in my opinion. I heard Obama is going to veto since it didn't go through the entire process though. If it does go through it, can and will he veto that?

FoxNews wrote I don't understand why it did not pass the first time. This pipeline will create more jobs for Americans and increase the mobility oil has in the US.


*Temporary construction jobs
Once the pipeline is completed, it's said that it'll only take about 50 people to maintain it.

I'm on the fence about this, i'm not against it, and i'm not exactly for it yet.
What I am sure i'm against, is Obama abusing his executive powers.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said today that if approved(which 99% it will be) he will veto, the real question is can congress get the two-thirds vote to overrule Obama's veto.

Pro's of the Pipeline:

The pipeline would be a job creator, although most of those jobs would be temporary. The State Department environmental review estimated that Keystone would support 42,000 temporary jobs @Lavish I saw this: over its two-year construction period about 3,900 of them in construction, the rest in indirect support jobs, such as food service. It estimated that it would create about 35 permanent jobs.

The report estimated that building the pipeline would contribute about $3.4 billion to the American economy.

The State Department review concluded that even if the pipeline were not built, global oil demand is such that companies would continue to develop the Alberta oil sands and bring the petroleum to market in other ways. The oil could come by rail or by building other pipelines. But moving oil by rail has its own hazards. As transport has increased in recent years, so have explosions of rail cars carrying oil.

Building the pipeline would also help provide a conduit for oil from a friendly ally, Canada, and cement trade relations for the United States and Canada.

You do realize that both congress and the majority of Americans want this bill to be passed, yet King Obama is still planning to veto it?

I completely agree with you on this one.

If he does, so be it. That's a power that the president has, if I'm not mistaken. If congress really wants it, can't they override the veto?

Apologies if I'm wrong about some of that, I originally thought you were talking about Obama's Immigration EO or some other instance like that.
