easy to be cocky to force the issue, but when you actually need to go on record overriding a presidential veto and be one of the 100 in the history of the united states, their balls may not be so big when the time comes.
edit: also, respect the positon of most of these people, in all but the most liberal cities, if you vote against defense spending, you'll probably not get reelected (military is everywhere). Much different proposition than overriding a veto
Why do they continue to set up their zealots for disappointment this way? By continually lying to them by omission about how vulnerable they are. We couldnt ask for a better false sense of security to instill upon them
My understanding is it's not "veto-proof".
Trump still can veto, then they would have to vote on the veto override. Then votes could change, making it a smaller margin and not override it.
exactly - what idiots

I think that’s right. Senate would also need to override, IIRC.
