Original Note:
The two issues are totally incomparable. President Reagan vetoed because he felt it would only make the situation worse for many South Africans. The veto was not upheld after Congress struck it down and thus the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986 was enacted. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1986/09/27/reagan-vetoes-sanctions-against-south-africa/af009ab1-2ed2-4e72-ab46-52fc2ec2d7e6/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Anti-Apartheid_Act
