The final vote was 419-3. A veto would be easily overridden. The Senate version passed 98-2.

That all depends when this bill gets to Trump before the August recess. A pocket veto would do it.

there's nothing more Congressional whores like than jumping on a band-wagon. They all want to be tough/generous/brave/compassionate when it is consequence-free.

If there were real consequences and potential for serious debate and negative publicity, many of these whores would be off the band-wagon and running for cover.

Having said that, I suspect Trump will go with the flow and save his ammo for other issues.

Well on one hand then thank God for the US Constitution that the President isn’t all powerful. But in this case, Republicans get to join Democrats in being complete ass hats.
