It wasn’t a plan so much as it was inevitable. Without the 13 democrat votes in the senate to over ride obama’s veto, this was inevitable.
Something I don't know and have never heard addressed. If that should happen, then what?
Does the constitution or law require that Congress take the vetoed bill up again, or even try to override it? Or can Congress say that's all you're getting. Approve it or it's all yours to handle with no new funds.
If it's just some new bill, a veto ends it. But if it is a funding bill for part of government to continue operations, why couldn't Congress just say that's it? Congress tells the president he has what was passed and will get nothing else.
Does anyone know if Congress is required to take up a vetoed bill again?
What makes you think that the Republicans had anywhere near a majority in the Senate to oppose Obama?
