To override a presidential veto, Congress must achieve a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This means that at least 288 members of the House and 67 members of the Senate must support the bill despite the president's objections. If successful, the bill becomes law without the president's approval. If Congress fails to reach this supermajority, the veto stands, and the bill does not become law.
