President Trump told CBS News that he is willing to use his presidential veto and expanded executive power if Democrats gain control of Congress following the midterm elections. "I have the ultimate power - it's called a 'veto,'" Trump said, adding that he would welcome being called "Mr. Veto" if the Democrats secured a majority in either chamber. Trump suggested that repeatedly vetoing Democratic legislation could eventually force negotiations, saying, "Historically, you veto for a few months and then they come and say, 'We have to make a deal. '".
