Congress Defies Obamas Veto With Majority Power To Pass THIS Bill Congress presented a bill to place increased scrutiny on Syrian Refugees. When it passed by Obamas desk, he vetoed the bill. He was not willing to budge at all on the Syrian Refugees. It seems like he cares more for them than American citizens. After the veto, Congress voted again the pass the bill, and overpowered his veto with the 2/3 majority required. 47 Democrats turned against Obama in order to get this Bill passed. Congress as a whole is slowly turning against Obama. Its only a matter of time before he is impeached. This bill places increased scrutiny on Syrian Refugees already in the US. Should Congress pass a bill denying the access of all new Syrian Refugees to the US?
