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.
