For 60 years, the National Defense Authorization Act has been passed on a bipartisan and bicameral basis. The President’s veto of the NDAA is an act of recklessness that harms our troops, endangers our security and undermines the will of the bipartisan Congress.

Pelosi Statement on President Trump Veto of National Defense Authorization Act

DECEMBER 23, 2020 PRESS RELEASE

San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the President’s veto of the bipartisan, bicameral National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

 

“The President’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act is an act of staggering recklessness that harms our troops, endangers our security and undermines the will of the bipartisan Congress. For 60 years, the NDAA has been passed on a bipartisan and bicameral basis.

 

“In a time when our country was just targeted with a massive cyberattack, it is particularly hard to understand the reasoning behind the President’s irresponsibility. Disturbingly, Trump is using his final hours in office to sow chaos, including by denying our servicemembers a long-overdue pay raise and hazard duty pay; our families paid family leave, child care, housing and health protections; and our veterans the benefits that they need and deserve. The President’s veto also deprives our country and allies of tools to protect global security – including for cyber-security.

 

“Trump’s veto violates our national values, as it would block action to rename military bases and infrastructure named after those who served in the Confederacy – which is supported by an overwhelming majority of the American people, by House and Senate Democrats and Republicans and by our servicemembers and top military leaders.

 

“Next week, December 28, the House will take up the veto override with bipartisan support.”

REGULATION

SEC chairman Jay Clayton publishes resignation letter and will step down after today

Today is Jay Clayton's last day as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to a public statement. After announcing in November that he would depart at the end of the year, Clayton published his resignation letter to the president on the SEC's website today.

 

Clayton is vacating the position months ahead of the previously scheduled end to his tenure in June of next year. He took the office in May 2017 with an appointment from President Donald Trump.

 

During his time as chairman, he led the SEC through the initial coin offering boom of 2017. "Under Chairman Clayton’s leadership the agency acted quickly and decisively to combat fraud and pave the way for innovation," the SEC said in a statement in November.

 

Clayton's SEC will also be remembered by the crypto industry for denying every application for crypto exchange-traded fund. His final outgoing action related to crypto was the recent suit against Ripple and two of its executives.
