Senators hold the cards on three veto overrides

(The Center Square) – Including a bill supported by 148 of 157 lawmakers, three vetoes from North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper are in the process of being tested by the override process.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday sent all three pieces of legislations to the Senate. The governor’s 102 vetoes are a state record, as is the 45-for-45 mark by the General Assembly trying to overturn them when Republicans have three-fifths majorities or more in each chamber – the threshold for overrides.
