House Has Votes to Defy Trump Veto of Defense Bill, Top Democrat Says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) -- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said the House has enough votes to override a veto by President Donald Trump of a crucial defense bill over his demand that it include a provision to strip a legal shield for social media platforms.

Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, spoke in an interview after Trump repeated his threat to veto the annual defense policy measure.

The National Defense Authorization Act, a massive piece of legislation that, among many things, authorizes military pay raises and extra pay for troops on dangerous missions, has broad support in both the House and Senate and is set to pass both chambers next week. Hoyer told reporters at the Capitol that the House will vote on the measure Tuesday.

Trump late Thursday repeated his veto threat after Republicans and Democrats on both the House and Senate armed services panels released their bipartisan agreement on the bill. The Defense Authorization Act has become law every year for the past 59 years.

1. Let's show that lame-duck idiot just what we think of his threats.

Pass the bill through both houses and then override his veto.
