    Veto away, Krasnov. By all means, please make Republicans looks like incompetent fools for the next 2 years so we can sweep in 2028 too. After that, maybe finally we can get some shit done and prosecute the fascists (if the corporate masters are willing to indulge us, of course).

    He technically has that power. And if the midterms don’t go his way Congress has the power to refuse to do anything he does want. He’s not patient enough to play that game without doing something that might make even Senate GOP turn on him. But not until after 12:01PM Jan 20, 2027, that way it doesn’t count as a Vance term.

      He’s already been impeached. Twice. It takes too many members of congress to actually remove him though.

      Best Republicans can do, veto good laws, letting only bad ones be enacted.

      Also, frankly, what a lot of presidents pretty much do.

      I guess the biggest problem is that usually stops short of the budget/debt ceiling bills, so if he sticks to his guns of ‘veto no matter what’, hard to see how budget bills can work anymore.

          If you have 2/3rds of Senate, sure.

          But short of getting a bunch of people willing to visibly undermine Trump from his own party, that’s not going to happen. Keep in mind these were the same people who didn’t like the optics of removing Trump even after he lost and was on his way out and actively incited a violent insurrection. If they won’t even vote to remove what was presumed to be a dead-end politician on his way out of politics anyway, then they sure as hell won’t go against him on a veto.

            If Trump goes full tantrum and decides to try to shutdown the government for two years, I’d bet they get just enough to pull off an override.
