CONGRESS/DEFENSE/VETO: “The Senate pushed through a bill on defense spending against Trump’s strong objections – just 20 days before he leaves office.

Meeting in a rare New Year’s Day session, the Senate secured the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto with bipartisan support two days before a new Congress will be sworn in on Sunday.

Eight previous vetoes of legislation have been upheld.”
