The bill that the President has vetoed must be passed with a 2/3 favorable vote in both houses of Congress in order to become law.
Congress can override the veto and gather enough signatures to make the bill a law even if the president doesn't agree. This requires a two thirds majority in the US Congress.
override
The Congress proposes bills that need to be signed into effect by the President. The President can either sign the bill into law or veto the bill. If the President vetoes the bill, Congress has a chance to override the veto and make the bill into law. The Judiciary branch can rule a law unconstitutional and thus render it useless.
At this point, the bill is sent to the President. If he or she signs it, the bill becomes law. If the President vetoes the bill, it is sent back to congress. Now, it will take a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and House of Representatives to override the President's veto and make the bill a law. (It is very hard to get a 2/3 vote.) There is also a pocket veto where the President does nothing and just lets the bill die. (Look up pocket veto.)

A bill has to pass through both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then be signed off by the President, before it is law. If the President disagrees then a two/thirds majority in each of the two Houses can override the President's veto. Therefore if it just passes through one House it has failed.

Yes. If the president vetoes a bill it goes back to the Congress. If both houses of Congress pass the bill again, but this time by a two-thirds majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. Alternately, the President can sit on the bill, taking no action on it at all. If the President takes no action at all, and ten days passes (not including Sundays), the bill becomes law without the President's signature. However, if the Congress has adjourned before the ten days passes and without a Presidential signature, the bill fails. This is known as a pocket veto.
THe President can make a bill that has passed Congress into a law by signing it. It also becomes law in 10 days if he does not sign it, unless Congress adjourns in less than 10 days after giving him the bill.
The Constitution also guarantees "checks and balances." The President, a member of the executive branch, gets to decide whether to sign the bill into law or veto it. If he signs it, then the bill is law. If he vetoes it, then the Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority and the bill will become law.
