CSPAN ^ | November 19, 2015 | KNARF

Obama's veto tested

[TBP]

Fine. Make him veto it, then use it against him and his party.

They need some lessons in how to play confrontation politics.

[TBP]

50 Democrats voted the right way in the House.

We need to put pressure on Democrats in the Senate. Especially those who are up for re-election.

[TBP]

Well, Speaker Ryan supported it and he’s GOPe, so it MUST be bad. Right?

[TBP]

So good for Dr. Carson.

[yoe]

They should vote to defund the refuge program. Only they can initiate funding. you are absolutely correct.

Your congressmen and senators need to know where you stand...even if you have called their offices, call again....

Why is Obama so obstinate about the security of this nation...who is he working for?...certainly not America, not even those who voted for him...his one job is the security and safety of America...he seems to want to punish the USA or he is more than showing signs of being unhinged.

[Jim Noble]

2/3 is 290. They got 289.

After the veto (if McConnell allows a vote on this bill in the Senate), the House vote to override will be interesting.

[buckalfa]

"We need to put pressure on Democrats in the Senate."

The bill will never reach the Senate floor. That old filibuster thing.

[Jim Noble]

289/435 = .6643678.

Not adequate to overturn a veto.

[Genoa]

So an override has to be an absolute 2/3 and not just 2/3 of the votes cast?

[Jim Noble]

So an override has to be an absolute 2/3 and not just 2/3 of the votes cast?

I don't know, but i DO know that, if the override has 289 votes in the House, all 435 Members will be voting.

[Jim Noble]

The actual language is “2/3 of that House”, which suggests that it’s 290 Representatives and 67 Senators.

[Vigilanteman]

289 + 137 = 426. Without a published roll call vote, it is impossible to determine how the 9 not voting would vote.

[daler]

If it were enough to override a veto, a sufficient number of Democrats would change their vote when it counted.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Every Democrat (all 137 of them) that voted “no” on the Syria/Iraq Migtant Muslim refugee bill should be defeated come next November, 2016!!! Let them face the mother and father of an innocent American child blown apart by their beloved Muslim terrorist,,,,the same terrorists that POTUS, Obama loves so dearly!!!

[hal ogen]

137 anti-Free-America haters in the house need to be un-elected. These quisling bums are degenerates of the first order.

[dartuser]

He will sign it.

Then bring the refugees in anyway ...

[Genoa]

If it were enough to override a veto, a sufficient number of Democrats would change their vote when it counted.

It would have to be the ones who aren't interested in being reelected in a few short months....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Do your own research.

[luv2ndamend]

It gives him the green light to continue it!! Where does it stop him?

[luv2ndamend]

Yes, it is a joke and people on these threads read the propaganda but don’t look at the bill!! Its a green light!
