He was considering vetoing a bill that would have allowed it.

As did most thinking people, conservative and liberal alike. Among other
things that strike was about screwing employees out of full-time status
by scheduling them as part timers. So, you're saying you're in favor of
that?

One more time. NAFTA was proposed by, promoted by, and pushed through
Congress by a Republican President. Clinton happened to be the one who
signed the bill, but the man he beat in that election, George Bush, said
one of his greatest disappointments was not being able to sign that bill
into law. Further, you've shown absolutely no evidence that NAFTA's
really harmed the US economy on anything resembling a long-term scale.
