This president has shown neither of those characteristics throughout his presidency and now would be a very strange time to start given this Defense Authorization Bill is coming from a Congress controlled in both houses by Democrats. I suspect he'll sign whatever they send him. A presidential veto is a very strong statement, as well as a demonstration that the president is willing to fight for or against something.
