“WH Warns Veto...”???

Is anyone still aware of the fact that a veto can, and sometimes SHOULD, be overturned? The House can do THAT too. But they won’t. No matter how much we scream at them.

Well according to Wikipedia there are currently 433 members of the House. Two thirds of 433 is 289. From the same source there are 242 GOP members of the House. 289 - 242 = 47 Dims would have to vote for the bill to over ride the veto. Do you third there are 47 Dims who would vote to override?
