What recourse does Congress have if the President vetos a bill?

Answer 1

Maybe not to write such a lame one with tons of extra crap added to it.

Answer 2

if the President vetoes a bill the Congress needs to 2/3 to override the veto. but if the bill barely passed in either part of the Congress or both, then they will not be able to get 2/3. It is kind of hard to get 2/3 when the ratio of supporters to non supporters is pretty close

Answer 3

They can override the veto with a 2/3 majorityin both houses, but that's not going to happen. There aren't enough people in congress that want me to get shot in the back on the way out of Iraq.

Answer 4

Heather is right. Usually, there is a bit of negotiation. Congress could just not pass any laws that the President likes until he gives in. It's harder to negotiate with the President now, thanks to Clinton's Line item veto. To THose Liberals who are about to give me a thumbs down. THink. Bush Now has the power of line item veto. Do you think its a good thing now we have a democratic congress.

Answer 5

To let the bill sit idle. If Bush wants to play politics with our troops lives because he doesn't like being challenged as the "Decider", than so can Congress.

Answer 6

Grin and bear it.

The Congess has the same power as you. The power of the vote, And it didn't work out so well for us now did it?

Answer 7

they can let bush senior call in the cia and mafia to change his mind

Answer 8

he has that right as president !!!

Answer 9

none... redo the bill is all they can do.
