just vetoe it. The bill is for a total $23 billions. Now it is also said that Congress is determined to RESIST him. How does this work? Isn't the President to have the last word always in these matters?

When the President sends a bill back to Congress, unsigned, he is required to state in writing his objections to the bill, and Congress must record these objections. Congress can then reconsider the bill and do one of two things. They can override the veto with a 2/3 majority, or they can amend the bill, or just re draft the bill and run it through both houses, assuming it passes both houses, they can send it back to the President for his signature. Assuming that they can't override the veto, they can keep sending him a new version of the bill until it he gets a version that he will sign.

Congress can override a President's veto if 2/3 of the House of Representatives and 2/3 of the Senate vote to override.
