Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace,
We've been expecting you.


Under our Constitution we have provisions for this IF that is what the
American people really want. 3/4's of the entirety of COngress must vote
agaisnt the veto to pass the bill...IF the American people really want
that bill passed, they will write their COngressmen/women and their
Senators and tell them to vote for the Bill...IF you don't see this
happening it means one thing: the American people don't really want the
bill passed. Of course, that could be for any number of reasons, ennui,
aparthy, and just plain ignorance being included there, but the fact
remains, IF they really want that bill to pass, there is a way.


In a perfect world, that might be true. Sadly the party lines will be
followed pretty much in the vote to overturn the veto. Politics in
Washington control virtually everything that happens in chambers there.
