100% – the POTUS has veto power over every single piece of legislation that passes through congress.

And also over a lot of appointments.

The veto can overridden by 2/3 majorities in House and Senate.

Which it is unlikely they will have..

Personally I think they shoukd be passing legislation left right and centre and forcing him to veto it so he looks like even more of an obstructionist.

Without wanting to count me chickins…

rn it could be that the Rs lose 9 senate seats. ( The 7 already declared, plus Alaska, and jinx-Gods-look-away Mississippi. )

10 if Dan Osborn gets over in Nebraska (though he appears to be fading in late counting).

This would be their worst day at the office for a long time. There must be surely be some Republicans thinking that, long term, they would be better off losing the orange ballast.

They also appear on track to lose half a dozen governors and a similar number of state legislatures.
