How can a president override a congress bill?
He cannot. The president can veto the bill, returning it to Congress without his signature. Congress can override the President's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate. If the Congress overrides the President's veto, it becomes law even if he doesn't like it. If the President refuses to enforce the law, he is violating his Constitutional oath to ensure that the laws will be faithfully executed, which would be an impeachable offense. Congress could then "fire" the President by removing him from office.

How congress can control the president?
The president can veto any bill passed by Congress. This stops a divided Congress since a 2/3 majority is required to pass the bill over the veto. The president can fail to enforce laws that he does not like. Congress can fight back with impeachment or censure but there are usually serious political costs to such actions, so Congress often does nothing. The president can also use a "carrot and stick" approach to influence individual Congress members.

If the President agrees with the bill, he will sign it into law. If he does not he will veto it and send it back to Congress. Then Congress must have a vote to override the veto and get a 2/3 majority in both houses to override it.There are two other options that the President has, If Congress is in session and the President takes no action within 10 days, the bill becomes law. If Congress adjourns before 10 days are up and the President takes no action, then the bill dies and Congress may not vote to override. This is called a pocket veto, and if Congress still wants to pass the legislation, they have to start the process all over again..
Why was there violence in Congress?
They didnt like the way the treated slaves.
What responsibility does the president have for the laws congress makes?
I will tell you the process for a bill to become a law. Citizens find a problem or a want and tells their representative. He then takes it to congress and they vote on it. If it passes, it goes to the president. That is called a bill. If it doesn't pass the whole thing is scraped. If the president doesn't like the bill it goes back to congress. They vote again and if so many people vote yes they over rule the president and it becomes a law. If they don't vote yes the whole bill is scraped. You can stop this early if the president says yes the first time around.
What happens if the president can't decide whether to sign a bill or to veto it?
It's not a matter of whether the president is incapable of making a decision. The Founders created a provision in the Constitution to prevent the president from merely ignoring legislation sent to him by the Congress. A president might be inclined to delay acting on a bill if he disagrees with it and wishes to veto it but fears that the Congress will override his veto. The provision requires the president to act on a bill within ten days of its delivery to him. If he fails to act -- that is, if he fails to sign or veto it -- the bill becomes law. However, if the Congress ends its session before the 10-day period is up -- that is, if the Congress goes on recess, which is like a vacation -- then the bill is effectively vetoed if the president fails to act on it. That is called a pocket veto.
