Fact...the bill could not be vetoed
Fact...the right supported the bill
Fact...the left did not
The president can veto any bill he does not like. It doesn't matter if there are 1/3rds or 2/3rds in congress who want it enacted.The 2/3rds just means they can enact a bill into law despite the president's veto.
Veto override - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Congress can override a presidential veto by having a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and Senate, thus enacting the bill into law despite the president's veto.
