The short answer is no. Pursuant to Article I, section 7, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America, for a bill which has received a Presidential veto to be overridden, each house of Congress must approve of the bill by a 2/3 super majority vote. In other words, the votes within the House of Representatives in excess of 2/3 cannot be tacked onto the vote from the Senate in order to override a Presidential veto. If only 98 Senators were seated, then 2/3 would be 65.2. As there can only be a whole number of votes, then 65.2 must be rounded up to 66. If the votes to approve the bill despite the veto totalled only 64, then the Presidential veto would stand and the bill would not become law.

How are presidential vetos overriden?
Answer Yes, it requires a two-thirds majority in each house of congress. It's almost impossible to do, because of the two-thirds majority it requires. You'll hear of bills that passed with veto-proof majorities. These are very rare today. A bill that passed with a veto-proof majority is one so popular more than two-thirds of each house voted to approve it. Which, of course, means the bill contains spending for each Member's district. These rare bills are normally signed by the President because Presidents hate having vetoes overturned.
