I only get House supermajority to override a veto. What else is required?

Admittedly it was probably more important in the days when representatives actually tried to represent their local regions' needs, rather than marching in lock-step with a pseudo sports team. Really the House never should've been capped to 435. Population growth has made congressmen so far removed from their districts that effective local representation is almost impossible now. Yet another problem among many in a troubled nation.
I agree this ain't 1860. There are some broad similarities, like the slow hardening of rhetoric, but the driving divide now is a lot different than then. I don't think a shooting war is imminent quite yet. Besides, who's going to do it? Legions of fat complaining Boomers aren't going to get up off their sofas.
