59. Make them override then. Unless he's for this, too.
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 04:58 AM by No Elephants
Make government work the way the Constitution says. Besides, there's no guaranty of an override. Being one of 100 unanimous votes is very different from voting to override a Presidential veto, especially a President of your own Party. And an override requires 2/3 of the House, too. Will that happen?

No, unless Obama vetoes, he owns this. Same with any other bill he signs, just like any other President.
