“The Senate on Friday voted to turn a $741 billion defense authorization bill into law over President Trump’s objections, delivering the first successful veto override of his presidency in the waning days of his administration. The 81 to 13 vote in the Senate came just days after the House also voted in overwhelming numbers to back the legislation, despite Trump’s repeated protests. It takes two-thirds of each chamber to override a presidential veto. The strong bipartisan majorities supporting the defense bill in both chambers represent a a significant rebuke of the president, as it contains several repudiations of his policies as commander in chief” – Washington Post.
