I ask as a foreigner.
And if democrats win both the House and the Senate? (I know, extremely unrealistic).
I know the House controls the budget, but for legislation to pass they need the Senate as well, then Trump has to agree to sign it.
A presidential veto can only be overridden if both Houses vote in favor of the proposed law by two thirds afaik. (are two thirds in the 100-member Senate 60 or 66 votes?)
BTW, is this a trusted, neutral source?
Are representatives and senators known for acting more freely from their party’s president after losing a midterm if the president cannot run again?
Congress has just passed a defence provisioning bill which allocates new funds for Ukraine and bolsters NATO troops in the Baltic states. They’ve also nixed the “department of war” name change.
If hegseth could read he’d realise they’ve ignored him and done things anyway.
