Help: Please explain how * can veto Stem Cell from the House of Rep.

[Nimrod2005]

If the Senate passes the bill with veto proof vote?

1. Veto has to be overridden by

both houses -- * may be counting on a less-than-two-thirds majority in the House.

2. Thank you...This means it is all over then, he will veto.

3. the house is only a couple votes shy of two thirds, that would

override his veto. not dead yet. if bush vetos then the house can try to convince a couple voters to vote differently

4. I thought we had some 254 for and we needed 290?

5. i dont know what the numbers are. that is what i heard the news say

i was in another room. so take it for what it is worth, lol lol came from the news after all

6. We needed 290

to override pending the vote by the Senate.

It both the House and Senate get 2/3 majority, then the bill can pass without Shrub's John Hancock.


The vote was 253-174

7. that is a few more than a couple. bummer
