My point is that turtle, nor anyone else, can override the potus veto.

That is why I put article 1, section 7.

Section 7: Legislative Process All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.

Maybe this is why he called the lunch today. To try and keep the Senate from going 2/3rds for the bill?

Maybe.

It could also be a dressing down..."Look, I have all this data about everyone and will declassify it."

Not the option I would want, but the only way these "people" are put in their place it seems.

I don't know why we didn't. He was openly talking about a contested convention to take the nomination away from Trump during the primaries, he was never on our team.

Why would you not want it? These people represent us and it should be public anyway.

So if not enough people show up to vote for the bill, the veto stands.

Aren't ordinary American's pissed about this bill? Won't polis want to cover up the fact that they voted for the bill not vote for it again?

Does anybody truly believe that the Dem-controlled House would not reconvene to kick Americans in the dick once more because Orange Man Bad??

If one believes that, they need to be shown articles showing the Dems and Rinos as scum.

Exactly, after reading the objections to the Bill.

Not seeing what you are seeing. He can either pocket it, which he won't, or Veto it, where they will just override the Veto.

The other exception is to where the bill originated (not sure which chamber wrote this piece of shit). If it were proposed by the Senate, then it is still valid because this is not raising revenue, it is about spending/raiding the coffers.

It is about raising revenue because hidden in the 5000 pages there are mentions of where the revenue is derived.

So this bill originated in the Senate? It is a Senate sponsored bill?

Originated in Senate, House threw in where funds are derived.

US Constitution Article 1, Section 7, after the first paragraph, meaning it is a separate clause.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.
