The vote margin was 69.5%. Looks like to me it is a veto proof vote. Are these Republicans playing games or will the same 12 vote to override his veto?

Wrong! In the Senate it will take 67 votes to overturn a Presidential veto. This bill passed with 59 votes, so they are 8 short to override. In the House they will need about 35 Republicans to vote to override Trump’s veto.

Not happening.
