I haven't heard any prognostications on how much energy there is in Congress to try to override his veto.

Has anyone heard about this?

I don't think they have the votes to override the veto.

It was started (and passed) in the house, and voted for unanimously in the senate. The House doesn't think it can raise four more votes to override the veto. Pray.

The only thing I heard was that the votes weren't there for a veto. That is not official, however.

The House just sustained the veto. The vote to override failed to reach the required 2/3. 235-193
