Trump changes his famous cap. He wants to reach for a weapon he has rarely used before

Two days before the elections, President Donald Trump stated he would become 'Mr. Veto' if the Democrats took Congress, emphasizing his power to veto legislation. He explained this further on election day, asserting he would reject any Democratic proposals. The presidential veto is a significant executive tool in the U.S., allowing the president to reject bills passed by Congress, which can be overridden only with a two-thirds majority in both chambers. Trump has used his veto power sparingly compared to previous presidents, with 12 vetoes during his first term and two in his second. The tone of his remarks suggests potential conflicts between the executive branch and Congress in the future. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk advised against excessive use of vetoes in governance, drawing from his own experiences.
