If 60 Senators vote against the measure, it will be veto proof, meaning Trump cannot override Congress and sign the declaration.

Ahem, Article I, Section 7: "If after such reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a law."

Last time I checked two-thirds of the Senate was 67. And the bill would go back to the House first and there aren't 292 votes for it there.

Who ever wrote that piece is badly in need of a Civics lesson.
