“Paul Ryan dosnât look so foolish now!”
Sorry, but I still think Paul Ryan is a worthless GoPee sycophant. This vote was more pi$$ing into the wind by the GoPee. Ryan is a disgrace! Take him back to Wisconsin. He can hang out with your classless not ready for prime time GoPee governor. Sorry to be so blunt, but both of these men are not the caliber we need in Washington. Walker’s parting shot at Trump was disgraceful, and if Ryan is given a chance, he will push through amnesty!
I tend to believe that Ryan in his secret deal to become House leader was well aware that at some point the questions like such as on this issue would come to the surface. He is the snake in the grass of such matters/issues. he Republicans that caved in for his appointment are shameless.
They are still 5 votes short of a 3/4ths vote to override a presidential veto.
Two thirds.
oops . . . my bad . . . they are well able to override if it comes to that.
Obama claims to love bipartisanship. This is pretty bipartisan.
Look what it takes these days to do something so commonsense and pro-American. It takes the threat of impending American deaths just to get a symbolic vote like this. The only reason they’re even voting is because so many people are getting apoplectic over these refugees.
Agreed. Americans are going to die and it will be soon.
What you said was my first thought....but after Paris ...and Obama’s disgusting remarks, I think there just might be a stronger surge of anti-Obama than would otherwise be seen. Perhaps a few Dems are finally waking up, or willing to take a stand regarding the irate state of their constituents. America is ANGRY and that makes her dangerous!
You just might be surprised.
Is there enough votes to override the veto?
Yep.
So do they have 2/3rd’s vote to override the veto?
The House, yes. The Senate is another story.
How close is the Senate to an override?
The Senate won’t consider the bill. Reid is blocking it.
Nearly. There were several members absent, and Ryan seems to think that he’ll have the votes if it comes to it. The problem now is the Senate.
Of course. Since America, like George W. Bush, is to blame for every ill known to man.
