Woops

I had forgotten that the President's veto can be overriden if two-thirds of the Congress vote in favour of troop withdrawal. That would mean that the Democrats need to rally another 15 or so votes to get the bill through. That sounds tricky, but I think this is what they should be fighting for right now. If they keep sending the same bill to be vetoed while the troops go without funding, I don't think Americans' confidence in the Democrats will stay as high as it is.
