...All that's needed is for more than two thirds of the Senate to vote for any bill, and The President's veto power is gone.....

You suspect 2/3 of the Republican controlled Congress would override their President? What does that tell you? Still waiting foy you to point out all the bills he has vetoed!

"you seem to need a little help on our laws "

I stand corrected.

Two-thirds vote or greater in both the House and the Senate will override the President's veto.

My original point still stands.
The President can't use the veto every time, Congress can and has overridden Presidentially vetoes.

You just can't use veteoes all the time or threaten to use vetoes all the time.
Its like the boy that cried wolf.
It loses its effectiveness.
Powers of persuation rather then the bludgeon are more effective means of governing.


"You suspect 2/3 of the Republican controlled Congress would override their President?"


Nothing is impossible.
If I remember correctly, the President has threatened to use the Veto a few times, even with Republicans controlling Congress.


"Still waiting foy you to point out all the bills he has vetoed! "

Read up.
I have insisted in this thread, that the use if veto and the threat of the use of veto should only been used sparingly, especially since we control both Houses of Congress.
