[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2752466, member: 13624"] I'm not at all surprised that the president vetoed it; he was the one busy sending the military to do the constabulary's job. It limited his authority. Fortunately, the Congress overrode his veto, so it doesn't matter anyway. It's the law (along with its amendments, such as extension to the Air Force.) As SoonerP226 noted, I too am curious as to why it doesn't also extend to the navy. Without doing any research, I suspect it has to do with appropriations: the act was attached to an appropriations bill, and the Army can't have an appropriation for longer than two years under the Constitution (the navy is not so restricted).
