[Wrong. In his covid-Bill signing statement yesterday, Trump said he had received assurance there would be a vote on increasing the bailout for individuals from $600 to $2000.
That vote just happened in the House. Now it goes to the Senate.]
It needs a 2/3 majority because Trump will veto it.
No it needed 2/3 so they could move it on an expedited parliamentary timetable. Trump ASKED for this legislation, increasing the checks from $600 to $2000. He’s not going to veto an increase that he asked them to approve. Go back and read his signing statement from yesterday. He specifically asked Congress to vote an increase in the stimulus checks to $2000.
