What is a veto proof House/Senate?
Walt Hennessee

Posted on 07/27/2022 1:09:48 PM PDT by TheOldSchool

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!

This is all academic since the Republicans won’t do anything with their majorities.

"...Congress may pass bills by simple majority votes. If the president vetoes a bill, Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds supermajority of both houses...."

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

Here’s an example of a RINO controlled senate overriding one of our greatest presidents:

Congress overrides Trump veto of defense bill

If I recall, 2/3 majorities in both Houses override veto.

Excellent post.

The RINOs only want to override a conservative president who wants to accomplish things for the people.
