INTERSTATE RECOGNITION OF NOTARIZATIONS ACT OF 2010--VETO MESSAGE FROM 
        THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 111-152)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following veto 
message from the President of the United States:


                       MEMORANDUM OF DISAPPROVAL

  It is necessary to have further deliberations about the possible 
unintended impact of H.R. 3808, the ``Interstate Recognition of 
Notarizations Act of 2010,'' on consumer protections, including those 
for mortgages, before the bill can be finalized. Accordingly, I am 
withholding my approval of this bill. (The Pocket Veto Case, 279 U.S. 
655 (1929)).
  The authors of this bill no doubt had the best intentions in mind 
when trying to remove impediments to interstate commerce. My 
Administration will work with them and other leaders in Congress to 
explore the best ways to achieve this goal going forward.
  To leave no doubt that the bill is being vetoed, in addition to 
withholding my signature, I am returning H.R. 3808 to the Clerk of the 
House of Representatives, along with this Memorandum of Disapproval.
                                                          Barack Obama.
                                      The White House, October 8, 2010.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The objections of the President will be 
spread at large upon the Journal, and the veto message and the bill 
will be printed as a House document.
  Pursuant to the order of the House of today, further consideration of 
the veto message and the bill are postponed until the legislative day 
of Wednesday, November 17, 2010, and that on that legislative day, the 
House shall proceed to the constitutional question of reconsideration 
and dispose of such question without intervening motion.
