A presidential veto can be overridden by 2/3 of?

Question

The House
The Senate
or both the House and the Senate

i think it's the both right?

Answer 1

Yes, it is both. BOTH houses of Congress must pass the bill with a 2/3's majority before a Presidential Veto can be overwritten.

Answer 2

When the president vetoes a bill, the legislation is dead unless Congress takes action.

Congress can override the veto, and in doing so, passes the bill over the president's formal objection. Overriding a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority vote of the members present and voting (in other words, those who are actually in the chamber rather than two-thirds of the total) in each chamber.

An override vote is a momentous step and difficult to win. In recent years the mere threat of a veto has been enough to convince members not to proceed with provisions that the president doesn't like. so yes but 2/3 present not 2/3 period
