Seems kind of redundant to have a UN council with over 13 members that can’t do anything if 1 member doesn’t like it. It seems that the other members are ‘united’ so the US should eat sand.

There should be an override mechanism. It could be super narrow, so like “All non-veto-holding members must unanimously agree to override the veto, and the override must then be sustained by a general assembly vote of 3/4”
