Democrats Test Trump Veto
After Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress, they could pass legislation, conduct investigations, and subpoena officials. But President Donald Trump would still be able to veto any bill passed by both chambers. A veto can be overridden with a two-thirds vote in each chamber—67 votes in the Senate and 290 in the House—meaning, based on the results announced, Democrats would need the support of 13 Republicans in the Senate and 65 in the House. In the Senate, they would also need 60 votes to end debate and bring a bill to a vote. The veto does not apply to bills that have not passed both chambers. Democrats can, however, block Trump’s nominees in the Senate and launch investigations in the House. A bill can become law without the president’s signature if he does not sign it within 10 days while Congress is in session. But if Congress adjourns before that period ends, the bill is subject to a “pocket veto,” which cannot be overridden.
