Overriding a presidential veto requires a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress. This translates to a minimum of 66 votes in the Senate and 290 votes in the House of Representatives.
The Presidency is decided by the House of Representatives.
When nobody receives a majority of the votes of the electoral college, the House of Representatives elects the President, with each state casting one vote. So although Andrew Jackson had more popular votes and more electoral votes, since nobody had the 131-vote minimum, the election went to the House. Seven states voted for Jackson, but thirteen voted for John Quincy Adams (and three voted for William H. Crawford).
Federal officials can be impeached in the House of Representatives. If a simple majority of the House votes for impeachment, the official proceeds to trial in the Senate.
The Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the House of Representatives. Before the vote each party chooses their candidate. The majority party's candidate will then win the election (assuming his or her party's representatives vote according to the party's decision).
The House of Representatives was always elected by direct popular vote.
