The Veto is Overridden
If enough Members object to the presidential veto, a vote is taken to override, or overrule the veto.
A two-thirds vote or greater is needed in both the House and the Senate to override the President's veto. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote successfully to override the veto, the bill becomes a law.
If the House and Senate do not override the veto, the bill "dies" and does not become a law.

If the bill passes in both the House and the Senate, and then president vetoes it, the bill is then sent back into Congress for another vote. If in both houses the bill passes with a 2/3 majority, they can override the presidential veto and pass the bill into law

EACH house must give a 2/3 vote. with a total of 535 congressmen, you cannot simply have 2/3 of the 535 congressmen. if the house voted 100% and the senate voted 0%, though congress as a whole would give more than a 2/3 vote, it would not pass because EACH chamber must give 2/3 vote

nicely it incredibly is no longer precisely what Bush vetoed.. He vetoed making the army instruction manual mandatory for the CIA. waterboarding is basically between the recommendations that could have been banned. it would even have banned different interrogation recommendations that are in the Geneva convention. The highlighting of waterboarding is basically commonly used politics because of the fact everybody is against waterboarding and hides what the real law entailed. Get knowledgeable human beings and don't basically study the headlines

I gave Kye a thumbs up. I can't do any more than that unless I repeat his answer. He is absolutely correct.
The way both houses are today, the President practically has a veto proof Congress...
