According to Article 1, Section 7, if a bill is vetoed by the President of the United States, then the bill is returned to the original house where it is considered and if it passes by a 2/3 majority (also known as a super majority) the bill is sent to the other house, which must pass the bill by a 2/3 majority. the Bill then becomes a law. Currently there are 100 United States Senators(2 per state) and it would require 67 senators and 2/3 of the 435 5representatives to override the President's veto.

∙ 8y agoA bill or joint resolution that has been vetoed by the US President can become law if two-thirds of the Members voting in the House and the Senate each agree to pass it over the President's objection. The chambers act sequentially on vetoed measures: The House acts first on House-originated
measures (H.R. and H.J. Res.), and the Senate acts first on Senate-originated measures (S. and S.J. Res.). If the first-acting chamber fails to override the veto, the other chamber cannot consider it.

If the House unanimously votes to override a Presidential veto and the Senate votes to override by a vote of 64 to 34 does the bill become a law?
The short answer is no. Pursuant to Article I, section 7, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America, for a bill which has received a Presidential veto to be overridden, each house of Congress must approve of the bill by a 2/3 super majority vote. In other words, the votes within the House of Representatives in excess of 2/3 cannot be tacked onto the vote from the Senate in order to override a Presidential veto. If only 98 Senators were seated, then 2/3 would be 65.2. As there can only be a whole number of votes, then 65.2 must be rounded up to 66. If the votes to approve the bill despite the veto totalled only 64, then the Presidential veto would stand and the bill would not become law.
