Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Government For example, if for the sake of argument we as sume the total membership of Congress to be 45 I, there would be required under a majority rule 226 affirmative votes to carry a measure, while under the two-thirds rule resulting from the veto it would require 301 to carry it; thus changing the figures from 226 as against 225 to 301 as against 150. This means that a negative vote of I 5 I against an affirmative vote of 300 would be a negative vic tory; for the President would have the power to add to the 151 his own quota of 150, making the count 301 against 300. Or, looking at the mat ter in a different way, he has a vote for every negative one, which is equivalent to the power of doubling the total number of negative votes. As for the one-fourth above mentioned, this is based on the idea of a total of 601, the President's I 50 being included.
