Not true. They could do it alone, if they had a unified stance on troop withdrawal. If enough Dems could agree to put a timeline for withdrawal in the legislation, they would have enough votes to override Bush's veto.
Powerclown...it is true...the Dems do not have the numbers...it takes 2/3 to override a veto....288 votes in the House; there are 238 Democrats.....and 67 in the Senate; there are 51 Democrats.

How do you figure the Democrats can do it alone?
