C̣n veto th́ không được v́ số phiếu trên 60% cả 2 viện.

Lấy tin tức từ đâu ra vậy? Đảng DC luôn muốn $1200? Are you kidding me?
Quan trọng hơn nữa là trong số tiền cứu trợ COVID19 tại sao lại có những con số ủng hộ cho những chuyện không ảnh hưởng trong đó? Và tại sao không phải là để cứu trợ cho dân Mỹ?

Trump asks for COVID-19 stimulus checks to be increased to $2,000 per person
US President Donald Trump criticized on Tuesday the COVID-19 stimulus bill passed by Congress the day before, saying it won't provide enough money in a second stimulus check for Americans affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Trump asked Congress to take the bill back and increase the size of the second stimulus check to $2,000 per person.
"I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000. Or $4,000 for a couple," Trump said, adding that the $900 billion stimulus bill took "forever" to pass.
Trump didn't specify whether he would actively veto the bill. If the current president vetoes the stimulus package or declines to sign it (known as a "pocket veto"), Congress has the option to pass the bill with a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
President-elect Joe Biden said earlier Tuesday that he'll propose another COVID-19 stimulus check when he takes office in January.
Biden thanked Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Republicans for agreeing on a stimulus package, despite the limit on included checks being $600 rather than the $1,200 that the two parties agreed on in March's stimulus bill.
The second stimulus bill passed Congress on Monday, including a check for up to $600 per person. Since it's a smaller check than the $1,200 previously provided, there's been talk about the possibility of a third check in 2021 following the passage of another bill.
Trump won't sign bill without $2,000 second stimulus check. Pelosi is game. What now?
The $900 billion COVID-19 stimulus bill cleared the Senate and House of Representatives on Monday, but President Donald Trump says he won't sign it without a larger check. What can Congress do?
When will President Donald Trump sign the $900 billion stimulus package, which would bring up to $600 per person in second stimulus checks, and extend $300 federal unemployment checks through March? The answer might be never.
On Tuesday evening, Trump called the COVID-19 relief package a "disgrace," saying he would not support the bill if it doesn't include a larger second stimulus check.
"I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple," Trump said in a video posted to Twitter.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted shortly after, "Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 -- Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let's do it!"
In response, House Democrats plan to usher through a $2,000 bill for a second stimulus check as soon as Thursday, Dec. 24, tweeted KCBS reporter Doug Sovern. They would attempt to pass the bill using unanimous consent, which would pass the bill unless a representative objected. The use of unanimous consent would take advantage of most House representatives being absent from the floor for the December holidays.
Since spring, several Democrats have suggested a $2,000 stimulus check, including Vice President-elect Sen. Kamala Harris, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey and one-time presidential hopeful (and now New York mayoral hopeful) Andrew Yang. Some supporters of this figure have even suggested sending checks on a monthly rather than a one-time basis.
Earlier Tuesday afternoon, it seemed that Trump was ready to sign the bipartisan stimulus bill, which a member of his administration worked on, "in the coming days," the Associated Press and others have reported.
For now, that leaves relief measures in limbo, including extending a ban on evictions for people who can't pay rent, and extra money for jobseekers.
On Monday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin gave next week as the target for sending payments via direct deposit to people who qualify for a second stimulus check to receive their payment, intended to bring direct cash flow to tens of millions of Americans. (You can calculate your second stimulus check total now. Here's which payment group you might be in.) And the $300 unemployment checks are slated to restart as soon as Dec. 26.
Now what happens if Congress doesn't amend the stimulus bill that passed by a clear majority in both chambers Monday night, and if Trump makes good on his threat by actively vetoing the stimulus package or declining to sign it (aka a pocket veto)? Would it mean the stimulus bill is dead, along with the $300 unemployment checks and $600 stimulus payments?
Not necessarily. Congress would still have the option to pass the bill despite a presidential veto, by way of a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
Most US leaders seem to see the $900 billion stimulus bill as a stepping stone to a larger relief package in 2021, one that may include a third stimulus check and other provisions that Republicans and Democrats agreed to leave out this round in order to pass a critical deal.
"This bill is just the first step, a down payment, in addressing the crisis -- crises, more than one -- that we're in," President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday, emphasizing that he would like to see a third stimulus check.
The coronavirus relief package would renew critical expiring federal benefits at a time when the nation is seeing surging infections, hospitalizations and "horrific" deaths as a result of COVID-19. Without federal action, tens of millions of unemployed Americans would be left without any income and millions of households would face eviction.
