The House already did, so now its off to the Oval Office, but since it has overwhelming votes, a Presidential veto would be pointless, as The Congress has the votes to override.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I don't think it is going out on a limb to predict that President Trump will not be happy about a veto of his being overridden, and will be very vocal about that.
Has President Trump actually said anything about this issue? If he said he's against it and Congress still overwhelmingly voted for it then you are probably right--they would also vote to override a veto.
But if he has been silent on this and he vetoes it I would be shocked if a lot of members of Congress do not decide that they only voted for it because they thought the President was at least neutral on it and will realign their positions to conform to his.
In addition to a veto being pointless, I don't think Trump cares about this issue at all. By which I mean, he wouldn't have a motivation to veto it.
If he takes no action, it becomes law automatically, aside from some edge cases around the end of a Congressional session where the bill dies. He'll probably prefer to preen in front of the cameras with a signing ceremony, I imagine.
