Can Congress just not deal with the bill?
I mean, can they decide to do nothing once it's been vetoed? If they could, that would end funding of the war, no? I mean, can Congress do a kind of "pocket veto" and just let the thing die?

I have no idea if this is possible, but it occurred to me as I was sitting here.

2. Right, but the responsibility would be his, for having vetoed it. nt

6. Didn't the Pentagon say that they have enough funds for the troops through July?

3. Certainly
And that is exactly what I wish they would do, defund the war. I suspect that will most likely not happen.

5. Yes of course they could.
But will they?

They could also return the exact same bill to Dumbfuck. But will they?
