What numbers are needed to make this vetoproof from Fast Eddie?

2/3rds majority in both houses, starting with the originating house.

It passed the House 159-38 (78.7%).

We have a 30-20 majority in the Senate (60%) and would need just four Democrat votes (as I see it, maybe it’s three).

So overriding a veto politically is likely not an issue. Timewise, however, it would be extremely challenging - and may require a special session of the Senate, which is rare.

The other situation, if Fast Eddie doesn’t want his Dems to take heat in November is to simply not sign it - it becomes law after 10 days at his desk.
