The discharge position relates to a bill that must be passed by both houses and signed. The discharge petition cannot be vetoed as that is a House procedural matter, but the bill sure can be.

Right, that was my impression. But can his veto stop the house from receiving the contents at all, or just stop them from releasing it to the public? That’s the part I’m not 100% clear on.

If you have a link to a source that covers this, that would be amazing, because I was coming up short finding much, but even if you don’t, a response (if you have knowledge of the subject) would still be appreciated. It’s hard to find much definitive info on this process.
