As Al has called a vote to override the Presidential Veto on the Cabinet Officers and Structure Bill, here it is.

All senators in favor of overriding the veto, vote "aye"; all senators against, vote "nay".

As this is one piece of legislation that I'm truly ambivalent on, I abstain again.

Well, I've read John Ford's argument in favor of this bill and have reconsidered this issue, and while I'm still not completely comfortable with the idea of merging State and Defense, I'm going to change my vote to "aye".

If Ford is sworn in before voting finishes, I don't see why he couldn't vote here.  If we get one more "aye" vote before he's sworn in, however, then we'll have 6 out of 9 senators concurring, which is a two-thirds majority, so it would pass before he was sworn in.  If we get one more "nay" vote, on the other hand, it would be impossible for this to pass either way, so it would fail.

Come to think of it, it doesn't really matter whether or not Ford votes or not, given that I'm pretty sure he'll vote "yes".  It all depends on how StatesRights votes.

Wait, never mind, I just read the stuff above that and quickly remembered that abstentions are (stupidly) equivalent to "nay" votes in veto overrides.

Well, time to go fishing for StatesRights' vote...

At this point I don't really care what it does; I just want it off the table so we can get on to other stuff.

Thank you, Senator.

With four votes against to six in favor, I hereby declare this veto override to have failed, having not reached a two-thirds majority.
