Key Takeaways
- Securing a veto-proof supermajority in both chambers of the legislature allows the majority party to enact legislation into law regardless of the governor’s veto. So, like a “trifecta,” the majority party has a clear path to enact policies without threat of gubernatorial veto or roadblocks from the minority party.
- The states are more divided than ever — if we include states with veto-proof supermajorities in the legislature that have the ability to override the vetoes of the opposing party governor, we’re down to only 6 states with truly divided government where the political parties must come together to enact policies and avoid minority party barriers.
