    The filibuster rule is a parliamentary thing that could be changed/ignored, but the veto is very much unavoidable. Without 2/3rds they cannot pass a thing Trump would object to, and without 2/3rds they can’t remove him.

    So it was a bit of a bullshit thing when a party has house, senate, and president and still can’t vote things through due to the filibuster, but at least for now the democrats are still stuck with the veto.
