All it takes in the Senate is one vote to overturn the veto. There is a lot of back door dealing going on to get that one vote in the Senate. Not so much for the House.

Bad political math. 59 Republicans voted "Aye".

You're thinking they only need 60 votes to overturn. The Constitution says overturning a Presidential veto requires 2/3 of the Senate (i.e., 67 votes).
