One tested way past accumulated vetoes is to bundle and pre-commit. Congress, unable to close surplus Cold War bases one by one, created an independent commission whose closure list got a single up-or-down vote; Ruhl and Salzman (relayed by Klein and Thompson) propose the same for climate infrastructure. It works by removing per-item veto points, not by persuading each holder, and the price is that no item can be amended.

  So they created an independent base-closing commission that received recommendations from the Department of Defense, proposed plans for closure based on those recommendations, and ensured those plans got simple and fast up-and-down votes.

  Something similar could be created for green infrastructure
