………..correct me if I’m wrong but 1/3 plus 1 vote in the House is 145 (rounded).

one third plus 1 in the Senate is 34.

Yes the Republican caucus has RINO’s and Never Trump bought off elitists in both houses but I don’t think as many as your article implies...……….ergo Trump should be able to sustain just about any veto where a 2/3 vote is required.

This fight is going to take a while. The man cant walk on water and we damn sure don’t have a replacement for him. Therefore I wish all conservatives including that loud mouth B ann would just cool it!

The way I read it that it would take 66 Senators and 288 House members to sustain the veto. And it is my SWAG the leaders couldn’t guarantee they could muster the votes.

I am still believing to sustain a veto both houses must meet the 2/3’s vote. I am not sure what happens when one house sustains it and the other doesn’t. The way I read it it takes both houses to sustain a veto.

“The man cant walk on water “

And if he did the press would report it as “Trump can’t swim”.
