All votes in the House require 2/3 majority. 1st vote was to increase the money directly sent to individuals from $600 to $2000 passed by only a few votes. Then 2nd vote now is to pass HR6395 over the objections of President Trump (basically an override of a veto). Republican votes now stand: 85 for, 55 against, 51 remaining to vote. Looks like the House is going to pass it '''over the objection of the President'.
What's it mean anon? This one doesn't know.
>Is that possible?
Don't know. What the House is doing is passing a new Bill. Here is the wording: Upon passage, objections of the Presidents contrary withstanding, H.R. 6395. c-span's trailer says: Defense Programs & Policy Bill Veto Override.
It can't be a veto because President Trump signed the bill. Nancy (House dems Lawfare staff, that is) taking a different route. They introducing a new Bill. Take a double jointed snake to follow this logic.
What do you want to bet that that money will be spent as soon as the Senate votes tomorrow? Then what's the corrupt members of Congress going to do next? Sun Tzu stuff going on.
This is not a vote to override anything. How can they vote to override a bill President Trump signed? They can't. They are passing a different Bill. As they say in it: Upon passage, objections of the President to the contrary notwithstanding.
Relax. You got the $$$. That was passed separately. That's a done deal. This is a new bill concerning defense programs & policy. You're getting the $2000.
The new Bill: upon passage, objections of the President to the contrary, notwithstanding JUST PASSED THE HOUSE.
