It required a 2/3 affirmative vote to override a veto. It is usually not easy because a president would not use his veto if it will easily be overridden.

VetoAnswer That's backwards. Veto power is one way the President checks the power of Congress.The answer above is somewhat inaccurate. Congress can pass a bill and then the President can chose not to sign the Bill and veto it but then it goes back to Congress where it can veto over the President's decision by a two-thirds vote and become a law. It's all about Checks and Balances----Congress has two main tools for checking the power of the executive branch.Only congress can enact law. Presidents can institute policies that hold for their terms of office, but any policy that is not presented to congress as a bill and signed into law can be easily reversed by the next president.Congress has the power of the purse. Congress is responsible for passing a budget and allocating funds to government projects and institutions, and so (theoretically) the executive branch is limited to the discretionary funds it was granted in the last budget.
