In 2006, William Shatner sold which item on eBay for $25,000?

Kidney stone
Half-eaten French toast
Fingernail clippings
A grilled cheese sandwich

Kidney stones are pretty disgusting, but that didn’t stop a determined buyer from purchasing the kidney stone of famed actor William Shatner. In an unconventional move back in 2006, Shatner auctioned off his kidney stone on eBay and donated the proceeds to the housing charity Habitat for Humanity. Remarkably, Shatner’s kidney stone fetched an astonishing $25,000. The winning bidder was GoldenPalace.com, an online casino known for its eccentric acquisitions. This was the same casino that had previously paid $28,000 on a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich bearing a resemblance to the Virgin Mary.

In a 2020 interview Tina revealed that her former husband picked the stage name when the two recorded their debut single “A Fool In Love” in the early 60s. Ike chose the name Tina because it rhymed with Sheena, Queen of the Jungle; the comic book heroine which Ike happened to be a big fan of. The duo became one of the most successful musical acts of the 1960s and ’70s, releasing hits such as “River Deep — Mountain High” and “Proud Mary.”

If all senators vote, what is the minimum number of votes required for the U.S. Senate to override a presidential veto?

If all senators vote, what is the minimum number of votes required for the U.S. Senate to override a presidential veto?

51
60
67
75

The minimum number of votes required for the Senate to override a presidential veto is two-thirds of the senators present and voting. This means that at least 67 out of the 100 senators must cast their votes in favor of overriding the veto for it to be successful. The Senate can take a vote to override a presidential veto after the President has vetoed a bill passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If the Senate achieves the two-thirds majority vote, the bill becomes law despite the President’s veto. Out of 1,484 regular vetoes since 1789, only 7.1%, or 106, have been overridden.

Correct Answer: 67
