Original post says:
Bush is against government mandated mileage standards like this one.
Both the House and the Senate approved this 35 mpg CAFE bill by margins big enough that it could not be vetoed by the President.
Female Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was a major force behind the bill passing with big enough majorities to avoid a veto by Bush.
He is against arbitrary limits. He should have vetoed it. Act on your beliefs.

He can still veto even if a supermajority (two-thirds) is reached on the first vote. It would have to go through the legislative process again with a supermajority to overcome the veto. This is not putting the blame on Bush. It is merely explaining the Constitution.
