I don't buy it, 80% of congress voted yay on this bill originally. Given how corrupt our officials are, you think a few phone calls would knock that number below 66%? Is there any precedent for this historically?
Hold up - regardless of the 2/3rds hurdle he just gave them every thing they wanted and asked them to please reconsider. In 45 days everything will be released - unless congress changes its mind?!? Which you have proven they will not, but at least he would have kept his integrity and left this steaming pile on their lap.
So I take it you agree with me that hoping congress would not override the veto is futile.
He's redlined everything that needs to change. Wouldn't it look like congress owns it if they don't change it by 45 days? It seems like he's saying "these parts are good, these are my parts, these red parts are bad, these are their parts."

I believe that is exactly what he has done. Spot lighted the whole mess.
