Describe the process of a presidential veto and how it can be over turn?
f the President approves of the legislation, he signs it (sign into law). If he does not approve, he must return the bill, unsigned, within ten days, excluding Sundays, to the house of the United States Congress in which it originated, while the Congress is in session. The President is constitutionally required to state his objections to the legislation in writing, and the Congress is constitutionally required to consider them, and to reconsider the legislation. This action, in effect, is a veto. If the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds majority in each house, it becomes law without the President's signature. Otherwise, the bill fails to become law unless it is presented to the President again and he chooses to sign it.

Yes, but the majority party (not of congress- just what is considered the majority party according to laws) is determined by the executive branch aka the president.The most recent example, while Bush was still in office the democrats took control of Congress, but the majority party of the country was still considered Republican. Currently our President (Obama) as well as the majority of Congress are Democrat but if at their next election Congress shifts to a majority of Republicans the country's majority party would still be considered the Democrats, because of the presidentAdded: The initial answer is incorrect. The majority party in Congress is ALWAYS the numerically superior party, regardless of WHO the President is. The President has nothing whatsoever to do with naming the majority party, the voters decide who it will be by putting more members of one party in office, rather than the other.
