CYA is all it is. The Dimwits know FJb will veto the bill. You can just see them running for the nearest camera and with a very sincere look on their face say to the people, it wasn’t me, I voted to release the information. We will start an investigation and get to the bottom of this.

Don’t believe a word they say or do.

That doesn't sound right...if the vote is unanimous they would be able to override a presidential veto. I think there's not here. Maybe trying to turn public opinion in favor of (a very ill conceived) war with China?

Will see what happens. I understand your position. House hasn’t voted on this yet, that I am aware of, then conference committee, then President, assuming it gets there. I believe it is just posturing, but maybe it’s not. At this stage, I don’t believe anything coming from either party. They have let us down so many times.

You can only override a Presidential veto if you have a super majority in the House and Senate and there is no super majority in either house.

Not exactly. You need 2/3 of both houses to override a very. True, that doesn't usually happen unless there is a supermajority, because votes on bills tend to fall along party lines, but on this case the vote was unanimous. You have way more votes than needed to override a veto..

Either way, its sadly unlikely that the fools who failed to protect the nation from poor legislation would want to fess up. Not until we’re all dead. From the u no whats.

I stand corrected. But as you said unless there is a super majority rarely does it ever happen. Even with a super majority (like we have here in TN) rarely do they override even though they have the power to do so. Thanks.
