How Trump's Veto Power Can Block Democrats in Congress

Democrats won control of both the US House and Senate in the November 3 midterm elections, a historic sweep that threatens President Donald Trump's agenda. Trump has threatened to use his presidential veto power to block Democratic legislation in his final two years in office. The veto allows the president to reject bills passed by Congress, though a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers can override it. Trump previously vetoed 10 pieces of legislation in his first term with a 90 percent success rate, and he has posted a "Veto" image on Truth Social. Democrats are preparing a legislative offensive on living costs and the war in Iran, while planning investigations into alleged corruption. The White House is reportedly drafting contingency plans to advance Trump's agenda through executive actions.
