CLEP American Government, Chapter 9
Vetoes and veto overrides
A regular veto returns a bill with objections. Congress can enact it over the veto with two-thirds of each chamber, making the veto strong but not absolute.
The return veto reopens congressional decision rather than deleting selected language. Each chamber considers whether to override, and two-thirds in both are required. Failure in either chamber sustains the veto.
Because override coalitions are difficult, the veto shapes bargaining before presentment. Legislators may alter a provision when enough members support passage but too few will oppose the president after a veto. A threat has political effect without being a completed constitutional act.
Distinguish passage support from override support and identify the denominator stated in the scenario. Also separate a regular veto, which is returned and can be overridden, from a pocket veto, which depends on an adjournment preventing return and has no override process.
