Overriding a Presidential veto??
Okay, let's see. There have been 2564 times in the history of the United States where a President has used his authority to veto, and 110 times where it has been overridden, meaning the President wins... 96% of the time.
By the way, here's some fun facts about vetoes:
Most presidential vetoes: Franklin D. Roosevelt (635, he was in office 12 years anyway)
Fewest presidential vetoes: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, James A. Garfield (None, although Harrison and Garfield only served a short time before dying.)
Most vetoes in a single complete term: Grover Cleveland, first term, (414)
Most vetoes in two complete terms: Grover Cleveland (584)
Fewest vetoes in a single complete term: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe (First Term), John Quincy Adams, George W. Bush (First Term) (none)
Fewest vetoes in two complete terms: Thomas Jefferson (none)
Most vetoes in a single congressional session: Grover Cleveland, 50th United States Congress (212)
Most veto overrides by congress: Andrew Johnson (15)
By the way, Mr. Obama has only done so twice.
In other words, Lutz, it rarely happens.
Problem is, Lutz, the odd thing is, ever since Mr. Obama has taken the oath, Republicans have been using words that rarely ever come into play which are unlikely ever to be used. These words include:
"Impeach". This has happened to an elected official only 20 times in American history, and eight ended in acquittal. (Two of those eight were the only two times it happened against a President. With Mr. Obama, there isn't even a valid reason, so it seems unlikely.)
"New Amendment". The Republicans seem to want to add so many new Amendments to the Constitution, thinking they can change the document as easy as they can change a tire. Ask the supporters of the ERA; it doesn't work like that. The last new Amendment was the 27th, added in 1992. (And get this, it was first proposed in 1789; it took 203 whole years for this Amendment to succeed.
"Succession". This only happened once in the history of the United States, and what did it cause? The Civil War, which caused more American deaths than any other war, a bloody, violent conflict, and a complete failure that caused the South's economy to collapse. You'd think that the word "succession" would, as a result, be a reviled word that would strike fear into the hearts of historians, but no. Some people are actually bringing it up again, because they didn't learn.
Lutz, being loyal and being optimistic is one thing, but sometimes, you have to be realistic. And by the way, that vote that came 22 votes away from two thirds? It wasn't even a vote to repeal the ACA.
