Congress has the chance to override the veto. However, it takes 2/3 of both houses to do that.
With the current membership in Congress, that means that it takes 290 Representatives and 67 Senators.
They have to override it before that particular Congressional session ends. If the session ends, then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over, next time.
