Can the president veto a bill passed by the senate with 69 votes?
I assume the House of Representatives has approved the bill then sent it to the Senate for its vote. If the Senate then passes the bill by 69 votes or even 100 votes, the President can veto it. The Constitution does not prohibit a veto if a certain percentage of Congressmen approve it on the first try. After the bill is vetoed it goes back to the House where it originated and if that House votes by 2/3 majority to pass it, it goes to the other House for its approval. If 2/3 of that House also approves it, the bill becomes law without the President's approval. At that point in the process the President does not even have the right to veto the bill.
How many votes For a bill to pass?
3/4 votes from the state legislature, house of representatives and senate
How many votes needed to pass a joint resolution of Congress?
This would take a simple majority in both Houses of Congress. 218 votes in the House and 51 votes in the Senate if all seats are filled and everybody votes. The VP could break a tie-vote in the Senate.
Who keeps track of votes and runs errands for the majority leaders in both the House and the Senate?
The whips.
