The 51st Congress which had access to approximately a 1 billion dollar surplus in the Treasury. The "Billion Dollar" Congress passed the Pension Act of 1890, which provided pensions for all Union Civil War veterans who had served for 90 days and were no longer capable of manual labor. This policy solved the dilemma of the existing surplus.

The bill that was defeated in the Senate was a 14 billion dollar rescue plan for the automakers. The President has no power to overrule a bill that is defeated in Congress.
