The short answer is 2/3 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate are required to override a Veto.
The unusual capitalization below is from my copy of the US Constitution.
US Constitution Article I Section 7 Paragraph 2: Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.

Something passes through House first - The senate can then override.

Pre HSA it was both, but Post HSA the Executive no longer has to ask the Houses if a thing is just or not. He still does on Public Matters,but now we have a Goverment in the Goverment that answers only to itself.
