What is the term used when congress passes a law after president vetoes it?
Azumukupoe
There is no other word for it- it is a vetoed bill and does not become a law unless Congress overrides the veto by passing it again with a 2/3 majority. If Congress does not override the veto, the veto is said to be sustained.
