The House and the Senate pass a new bill/law (majority vote), the president has to sign it. If the president vetos it, it goes back and the legislature can override the veto with a 2/3 vote.
There are some other goofy things with pocket vetoes and whatnot, but that’s basically it.
Doesn’t matter, it’s 33 senators he needs, and he already has 31 senators that aren’t even up for re-election. If they win just 3 senate races, they are golden. And they absolutely will, most assume there’s a “rounds to 100%” chance of 11 republican wins, which means even a ‘filibuster proof majority’ is not a possibility.
As a non american. What are the rules for the presidential veto.
I remember if being something like this
Pass once he can veto Pass twice he can’t Pass with 2/3 he can’t

So he better hope he gets more than 33% of the House.

I’m sure we’ll have a Democratic super majority that sweeps in and sides with the citizenry over capital.
