you forgot: or pass a bill the president can't sign, by overriding a veto
but that also requires even greater consensus than Congress can currently achieve.
- max76 8y ago> you forgot: or pass a bill the president can't sign, by overriding a veto Are you talking about passing a bill with such a high majority that the president cannot veto the bill? I wonder if the budget was ever passed with such a majority.
