Congress Likely to Override Trump Veto on Changing Army Base Names, Key Lawmaker Says
Congress likely has the votes to override President Donald Trump's threatened veto of the entire defense policy bill over a provision that would change the names of Army bases honoring Confederate generals, according to a top member of the House Armed Services Committee.
"I think the president is going to be hard-pressed to veto over that issue," said Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Maryland, a retired Army colonel and committee vice chair.
The provision would strip the Confederate names of at least 10 Army posts, including Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, and Fort Benning in Georgia.
Congress has been unable to override a veto, which requires a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate, since Trump has been in office, but "this may very well be the first that we would override," Brown said at a July 31 virtual forum hosted by Center for Strategic and International Studies.

I sure hope so. I'd love to see this guy's inflated ego get a setback.
