To override a president's veto, there needs to be a 2/3rds majority in both the House and the Senate.
This is part of the US constitution.
A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate is required to override a presidential veto.
Congress does not have to have the President's approval in two situations. The first is when voting on a bill that the President vetoed, and the second is passing a bill that originated in the house and the President does not sign after 10 days.
In order to override the president's veto, both the Senate and the House of Representatives have to have the required majority. Both houses need a two thirds majority to override the veto.
Actually, presidents do not make the laws. Only congress can make the laws. Presidents will promote or push their priorities and try to encourage congress to turn those priorities into laws. Presidents need to work closely with congress, since no bills will pass unless congress agrees to pass them, no matter how much a president might want something done.
The US Congress has this power if it can muster up a 2/3 majority in favor of the override.
Two thirds. 66.6%
They need a 2/3's majority to override his veto.
If 2/3 of the House of Representatives and 2/3 of the Senate agree to the bill, the President has no choice but to sign it into law.
If Congress has enough votes, they do not need the President's approval.
Two third (2/3) majority of both houses is required to override a veto. In the Senate that is 67 out of 100 Senators and in the House 290 out of 495. However, it is not typical for every Representative or Senator to be present when the vote is called, so the actual count will be 2/3 of the membership that is present.
To pass a bill over a presidential veto, Congress must achieve a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This level of support is needed to override the president's objection and enact the bill into law without their approval.
