I am curious about the legislative veto process. As it is now, if a bill passes the House it goes to the Senate. If it passes the Senate, it then goes to the President for his signature. What I would like to know is what is the veto override threshold, and if it is over ridden, will it become law? If after the mid term elections the Republicans take the House and the Senate, what margins will be required for a Biden veto to be over ridden and become law. Hope springs eternal!
Not to worry..the Rinocans won’t attempt to pass anything of note.
This is all academic since the Republicans won’t do anything with their majorities.
RTFC. Constitution.
Constitution. Article I, Section 7.

One without the likes of Collins and Romney
And Lez
Within a few short months after the election we’ll all be disappointed — all over again. Even if the GOP had an agenda (which it doesn’t) it won’t follow through on it.
They just want the seats.
60% of the House and Senate or 60 senators and 261 Representatives
I’m bracing myself for shear decisive inaction.
The powers that be want congressional seats to get insider trading info and become eleventy billionaires, and lastly to metaphorically tear the wings off individualists and entrpenuers that do not pay proper homage. They do not acquire political power with the intention of actually doing stuff
Two-thirds vote in House and in Senate.
Iām bracing myself for shear decisive inaction.

Buckle up for the big nothing burger the GOP has in store for us.
Here’s an example of a RINO controlled senate overriding one of our greatest presidents:
Congress overrides Trump veto of defense bill
66% ...........................
B I N G O !!!
If I recall, 2/3 majorities in both Houses override veto.
duh. what was I thinking
Excellent post.
The RINOs only want to override a conservative president who wants to accomplish things for the people.
