2) They don't have the votes to override the President's veto.

You are joking, aren't you?

The President breaks out his veto pen only on rare occasions, and this (tax increase) is of them. .....embryonic stem cell reasearch was another.

However, don't expect a veto on any amnesty bill. ....a bill he'll enthusiastically sign, unfortunately.

You need two thirds to override a veto. The Donks aren't close to that.

Assuming there is a veto, that is. Bush's dad needs to show him how to use the veto pen. If memory serves, Poppy Bush issued 35 straight vetoes before a successful override (on a cable TV rate-relief bill, introduced by my congressman, Ed Malarky).
