Re: Executive Veto Power

I found this article suuuper helpful. It looks like we have a "simple majority", but not a veto-proof majority. We would have had to get 2/3 of both congressional chambers to be able to pass laws that override a presidential veto (without republicans crossing the aisle). At the same time, we can block the things TRUMP tries to pull. Ugh I wish he wasn't such a petulant CHILD of a person.

I think it should be called Executive Cheeto Power henceforth.

Thing is that Trump has no ideology beyond look out for Trump, which makes what he might or might not veto rather unpredictable.

Either way, Dems should focus on clean, single issue legislation and then dare them to filibuster or veto. And rake them over the coals of public opinion every time they do.
