If a bill is vetoed it goes back to the congress and the senate and revote on it and 2/3 of the majority say yes then the bill is overridden.

Both bodies of Congress have to vote to overturn the veto by a 2/3 majority. There's also a pocket veto, where the President neither signs nor formally vetoes a bill. If Congress is in session at the time, the bill becomes a law.

Congress can overturn a Presidential veto by a 2/3 vote of each house. The process is described in the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 7.

When a bill is vetoed by the President, it can return to the legislature (both the House of Representatives and the Senate) to be revoted. If 2/3 of the legislature favors the promotion, then the bill is legalized.
