Veto override
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Congress can override a presidential veto by having a 2/3 majority vote in both the House of Representatives and Senate, thus signing the bill into law despite the president's veto. However, a bill may not be overridden if it is a pocket veto. The veto override is an example of checks and balances.
