President Obama would gladly sign a repeal into law. What it would take would be for both houses of Congress to pass a repeal, which does not appear to be likely in the foreseeable future. However, in the meantime, Obama has appointed two Supreme Court Justices that seem sympathetic to striking down DOMA or at least one portion of it. This may happen before the end of June 2013. It should also be noted that the Supreme Court has agreed to take up one (and possibly two) cases that challenge DOMA. So, something may happen by way of the Supreme Court, assuming it finds DOMA unconstitutional.
