“If they can override the veto, they can impeach and remove Trump. Best to find out now anyway.”

A veto override requires 2/3 of BOTH chambers of Congress.

That’s a HIGHER threshold than impeachment which only requires 50% +1 in the House and 2/3 in the Senate.

After the dems take over the house, it’s a given. The senate is where I’m not sure they wouldn’t vote to convict.

There are enough Rinos in both houses to side with the democrats to achieve a 2/3 majority in both houses. Likewise, there are enough Rino senators to side with the Democrats for impeachment. Trump will be out before summer, followed shortly by Pence.

I thought conviction in the senate was 3/5 or 60 votes (?)
