Wish Sen Cruz could get two-thirds of the Senate to vote for this bill. And, same for the House. Don’t see that happening, though :(

override of a veto - The process by which each chamber of Congress votes on a bill vetoed by the President. To pass a bill over the president’s objections requires a two-thirds vote in each Chamber. Historically, Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of all presidential vetoes.

But, I do like his idea to just keep at it. At least someone is keeping this on the front burner....in spite of all of the daily distractions.
