I don't think it nullfied anything, just added a reporting requirement.

When does the Defense Spending bill take effect? Is it official as soon as the veto override is confirmed or is there some amount of time before it is officially enacted?

Oh, just an announcement as in “I’m doing this”, not permission then. That’s what I thought. Still not their effing business.

And let's not forget the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed by Congress after 9/11 and hasn't been repealed, IIRC. It's been applied since 9/11 fairly broadly.

(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
