Ill believe it when I see it
One of the bills, to provide clean water to rural areas in Colorado, if I remember correctly, was passed nearly unanimously in both houses. To override the veto only requires 2/3 of both houses.
It’s just my personal opinion, but I think that if a lawmaker votes for legislation and then doesn’t vote to override the veto, and it’s not some extreme situation, they should be ejected from any government office and pilloried publicly for wasting taxpayer time and making light of their serious duties. Let the people pelt them with rotting fruit.
When I say “extreme situation”, I refer to the idea that some vital information comes out about the bill and that’s the only reason the President vetoes it, to get a better version of the bill passed. Like there might be some technically important legal jargon in the bill that seems otherwise innocuous, and nobody realizes at first. Or the situation the bill is supposed to address significantly changes in the meantime.
Can someone paste an archive link?
