Lee Zeldin, Republican congressman-elect from New York’s first congressional district, had strong words for President Obama: “Just because the president, going forward, may indicate that any of this legislation that is going to be going through Congress will be vetoed by him does not make that acceptable.”
“Over the course of the last couple of years there were almost 400 bills that were passed in the House that Harry Reid would not bring to the floor to debate and be voted upon,” Zeldin said on Sunday morning’s State of the Union. ”Those dynamics completely change. Those pieces of legislation now will end up on the president’s desk for him to either sign or veto.”
“Republicans and Democrats in Congress need to work together,” Zeldin advised, “but a lot of these bills that didn’t make their way through Congress now are going to the president.”
Zeldin, elected on Tuesday, is an Iraq War veteran who has been serving in the New York State senate.
