8. Exactly.
We'll just have to keep all the Dems front and center all the time on every effort they're making, not letting the MSM get away with any slight or slur or inaccuracy.

2. Every one
I do believe Shrub will veto everything.

It's in his best interest not to though but he is too stupid to figure that out.

7. How many votes do they need to override a veto?
Are there vetoes that can't be overridden? Are there limits to vetoes? So many questions I haven't had the need to consider under one-party rule.

10. Some vetoes
I wonder how many bills will be passed by our weak-kneed congress if we have only a slim margin of control.

12. Impeachment would be good if we could build a case like in the Nixon
proceedings.
