The bill was written by Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.) who said in a statement that the bill "will help businesses around the nation by eliminating the confusion which arises when states refuse to acknowledge the integrity of documents notarized out-of-state. This issue continues to be a problem for businesses and individuals who engage in business across state lines."
Some opponents argued that the bill could add to the problem of unfair /*home foreclosures*/, because it would be harder for homeowners to challenge improper foreclosure attempts.
The bill had sailed through /*Congress*/, but on Thursday morning, the president "pocket vetoed" the legislation, because it could create too much potential for harm to homeowners during tough economic times.
