The House on Tuesday passed the National Defense Authorization Act with a veto-proof margin, hitting President Trump’s threat to veto the law. The House passed the annual defense package, which abstained from one member with the annual budget and spending ys 33 ab-78 vote for the Pentagon – on a two-thirds majority needed to easily rewrite the president’s veto. The bill now goes to the Senate.
A veto-proof majority in the House means the piece of legislation received at least two-thirds of the vote, indicating that the chamber would support overriding the veto if Mr. Trump decides to issue one. If the president strikes at laws that reach his desk, he goes to the House and Senate and must get two-thirds support in each chamber to become law. Given the high bars, vetoes are often not overridden.
The law formally recommends a veto if management and budget reach the president at his desk, and President Trump has Already vowed to veto the law If Section 230 does not include a law-breaking provision protecting social media companies from liability. There is currently no such provision in the Defense Act.
“I hope the House Republicans will vote against a very weak National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which I will call VTTO. The repeal of Article 230 (for national security purposes) must be included. National monuments should be preserved, and 5G and troop reductions should be allowed. In foreign countries! “Mr. Trump Wrote Earlier on Tuesday on Twitter.
Some Republicans have also said they would return to Congress later in December if Mr. Trump vetoed the bill to override the veto.
“We should pass the NDA and the president should not veto it,” Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney told reporters Monday. And we’ll override it. A senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Macbeth Ornberry, told reporters Monday that Congress should return to override any veto.
“We will be subjected to fair and just criticism when we cannot return to deal with military pay,” Thronberry said.
