Veto Override?

Submitted by John in Michigan, USA (United States), Jul 14, 2015 at 16:08

Dr. Pipes, can you please expand upon the sentence, "...will the Democrats rise to the occasion and provide the votes for a veto override?"

What would Obama be vetoing? The signed but unratified treaty would be submitted for ratification by his own party, so presumably he wouldn't veto that. Are you referring to a Republican counterproposal? Which one?

Thanks.
