Can a bill become law if the president vetoes the bill?

Answer 1

The bill "dies". However, the bill can still become a law if Congress overrides the veto with a 2/3 vote. If the president initially does nothing, no signature or veto, the bill automatically becomes law after 10 days, excluding Sundays, if Congress is still in session. If after 10 days Congress is NOT in session, then the bill dies. This is called a pocket veto.

Answer 2

If the US the President vetoes a bill, he returns it, together with his objections, to the House of Congress (i.e., the House of Representatives or the Senate) where the bill originated. If that house votes by a 2/3 majority to override the veto, then the bill is sent to the other house. If that house also overrides by a 2/3 majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. If either house fails to override by a 2/3 majority, the bill does not become law.

Another possibility is that Congress will propose and pass, by a simple majority, a new version of the bill that they hope the President will sign

( There is another situation that is called a "pocket veto". If the president is sent a bill to sign but Congress adjourns before the President has had ten days in which to consider it, the bill dies unless the President signs it. Congress being out of session can not override it. )

Answer 3

The veto can be over ridden by the Congress with a two thirds majority in each house. It is considered first by the house in which it originated.
