Note:
(a) "国会民主党众议员吉姆·麦戈文"

House Representative James "Jim" McGovern is a Democrat from Worcester, the second most populous city in Massachusetts (after Boston).
(b) "麦戈文众议员说：'如果总统要行使否决权，他当然可以这样做，不过我认为参众两院可能有足够的共和党人和民主党人来推翻总统的否决' "

Clause 2, Section 7, Article I of the United States Constitution provides in toto: "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
