How Many Votes Does It Need To Over-ride A Veto?Woody (Tokin Librul/Rogue Scholar/ Helluvafella!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09205896988142798901noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10928393.post-53001285124392428212006-11-17T07:26:00.000-07:002006-11-17T07:26:00.000-07:00The Dems will have a chance to pass legislation th...The Dems will have a chance to pass legislation that Bush will be very hesitant to veto (like a minimum wage hike). They will also pass popular legislation that he does veto, where his veto further hurts the Republicans in 2008.<br /><br />The Dems can also hold-up funding bills. They could either under-fund the DoD (which could be vetoed), or they could simply not fund the DoD. At some point, the defense contractors and the soldiers (unfortunately) will simply stop receiving checks. That is the only veto-proof way that the Dems can force our military out of Iraq.<br /><br />You're right that the Dems can't push-through sweeping changes. But I will be satisfied if they simply block the Bush agenda, and stop our headlong rush to disaster. That they can do.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098320255160517324noreply@blogger.com
