US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to use his veto power against legislation passed by Democrats if they win a majority in the House or Senate during the midterm congressional elections. "I have absolute power, and it's called veto power," Trump added to CBS News, before the polls closed, in response to a question about the possibility of Democrats taking control of Congress next year. Trump hailed the title "Mr. Veto," referring to the approach he might take in dealing with legislation if Democrats win a majority in either house of Congress. Trump confirmed in a separate interview with the New York Post, published on Monday, that he would resort to using a veto if Democrats control Congress, presumably because repeated delays in legislation would lead to later settlements between the two sides.
