Does that mean he knows the Republics don't have the votes to stop the bill?

I don't think the full bill has been voted on.

9. Welcome to DU!

It would take a 2/3 vote to override his veto, which isn't likely.

Just like they knew they didn't have the votes for the amendment.

This is from yesterday.
