The legislative branch (Congress) can override a bill was a 2/3 vote
It has to be re-passed by two third of the Senate and House of Representatives, if the president vetoes the laws.

No. The legislative branch can over-ride a veto of the Chief Executive (e.g.: President or Governor), but they have no power of veto over themselves.The Legislative Branch proposes the bills that are forwarded to the Executive Branch for the Executive's signature or veto.There is no provision in the Consltitution for the Legislative Branch to veto its own bill.
The Congress passes a bill, not a law. The bill goes to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes a law. If he refuses to sign the bill, it is called a veto and the bill is not made law and is sent back.
Legislative.Another View: The above answer is correct in that the Legislative Branch writes the bills which are sent to the President for his signature.However, in and of itself, the Legislative Branch does not enact a law unless and until the President vetoes the bill that was sent to him. ONLY THEN - if the Congress over-rides the President's veto can it be said that the Legislative Branch has actually "passed" a law.
The legislative branch's power is being checked when the executive vetoes bills. The veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both houses.
A vote by a two-thirds majority can override the President's veto. That is, after the President vetoes a bill, a majority vote of 2/3 can force that bill into law.art 1 sec 7

The president can disapprove of a bill by vetoing it. A presidential veto is one of the checks the constitution has given to the executive branch over the legislative branch. However, the legislative branch can override a presidential veto by a 2/3rds vote from each house (the senate and the house).
