There is a term in political science called a "veto gate." Basically, as opposed to the public act of vetoing legislation by the president, a veto gate is something legislation or regulation must pass through before even getting to the president's desk.
The US has WAAAAAAAY too many veto gates. Having a Senate and House means that both houses must pass legislation that is exactly the same.
Adding the filibuster makes it much, much worse.
The filibuster should be abolished so that the government can work.
