Reply #80: A bill that is defeated is assuredly veto proof.

[endarkenment]

As I stated at the start of this absurd thread: the one effective means to end the war available to our Congressional leaders was to defeat the war appropriations bill(s), in either the house or the senate. Either one would do it. While we do not have 51 D votes in the Senate we certinaly have a majority in the house. Passing legislation that establishes limits or benchmarks, as we did, just gets vetoed. If Congress wants to end the war, they have to vote NO on war appropriations.

However you are much smarter than I it seems and have all the answers and everything figured out, so no need to actually read anything I wrote.

By the way I work for a living so I cannot camp out on DU to answer posts in real time.
