veto override

A veto override is when lawmakers in a legislative body, like Congress, overrule a president's or governor's decision not to approve a law (called a veto). If the vetoed bill is brought back for a vote, and enough lawmakers agree, they can pass the bill despite the veto. This typically requires a higher majority, often two-thirds of the members, to override the veto. Essentially, it’s a way for the legislative branch to affirm a law even if the executive branch initially rejects it.
