However, a majority GOP House and Senate combined can "override" the veto. I'm like you, I want to see the President elected FIRST, but then we can still "keep working" to take back the House. They will try to block everything but thanks to the Ryan Pick there are many seats for the Dems up for grabs. It can definitely be done. With the way things are going now, Mitt is actually HELPING US If us Dems stick together W'ELL GET IT BACK!
