The President has the authority to veto any bill he doesn't like. Congress can override a veto, but it requires a two-thirds majority.

That is a sad case when a sorry President doesn't let little children to have medical care. It stated let them get private, with what , poor people don't have the money to afford private Insurance for their children. The Senate has enough votes to over ride his veto the house need some more votes to go along with the veto, I hope they get it and override that sorry no good nothing , whatever it is , just a THING., without a brain.

Yea, that's the whole point of the veto. Then the bill goes back to both houses where they need like two-thirds support to pass the bill over the veto.

The congress (both house and senate) approve a bill by majority.
The bill is sent to the president to sign or veto.
If he signs it is passed as law.
If he vetoes it is sent back to the congress.
The house and senate need to both have 2/3 majority votes to overide (pass the bill after a veto).

Are you talking about Healthy Families? I really pray that it stays- I hear the President is going to veto it.

Right now we need to have some Republicans join with the Democrats to form a 2/3 vote to override the veto.
The Republicans cannot even put the bipartisan bickering aside to pass something for children, that is pretty sad!

3/4 vote of the Senate and House!
Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become 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.
Section 7 US Constitution
