41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    All we have to do is convince 40 of those "strict constitutionalists" in the house that congress controls the budget.

    And then, convince 6 senators that are opposed to executive action on immigration to disallow executive action on immigration.

    And we might just overturn that veto!

    (estimated numbers, I'm not sure what the actual totals are, someone ask Pelosi)
