"I'm surprised that we habven't heard a trial balloon floated from inside the administration about the need to reform the UN by elimination the SC veto..."

I considered that as well, but have to think that it will never happen because . . . it will be vetoed. The US could, of course, threaten to leave the UN unless major reforms like this are enacted, but I don't think we're there yet.

I believe that the veto can be overridden by a 2/3 vote of the General assembly....the point is, it would pass by 180-3..the three opposed being China, France, and Russia..
