This was issued on Tuesday, before the bill was passed in the House by a veto-proof margin of 288-117. The only hope for rejection is Congress mustering less than 60 Yeas.



My understanding is a bit different:

* If he vetos, they have to vote again

* On the second vote, both houses need 2/3rds (not just the house)


You are correct. Both houses must vote again, and by that time many votes may change. A two-thirds majority in both on revote is required to override the veto.


Allow me to pick a nit and suggest 'Senate' in place of 'Congress.'
