...phase still worse than the present one, this goal will be all the harder to achieve, if it is possible at all.

If the legislators were to override his veto on any of them, it would be the first such defeat of his presidency, further eroding his influence. Still, he seems ready to take a strong stand. Last week he stuck to his budget deal with Congress, freezing next...
