How does the supreme court override the veto by president?

A president can veto a bill that the congress passes and sends to him for his signature and he can refuse to sign it (vetoing it). But the president cannot override vetos. The congress can override president's veto by a 2/3 vote.


When was the first time Congress overrode a presidential veto?

The Congress first overrode a presidential veto - that is, passed a bill into law notwithstanding the President's objections - on March 3, 1845.


If a bill arrives on the desk of the president of the US and it originated in the Senate A pocket veto will be possible for him only if what?

A pocket veto will be possible for the president only if Congress adjourns before the president has ten days to sign or veto the bill. If Congress adjourns during this period, the bill does not become law and is effectively vetoed.


Who can veto a bill passed by congress?

The President of the United States has the authority to veto a bill passed by Congress. This power is outlined in the U.S. Constitution under Article 1, Section 7. If the President chooses to veto a bill, it can still become law if Congress overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.


What is the difference in the effects between a pocket veto and a normal veto registered by the president?

With a "regular" veto, the president prevents it from becoming a law by withholding his signature and returning it to Congress; with a pocket veto he also withholds his signature, but does so when Congress has adjourned and has not designated a legal agent to receive veto or other messages (as at the end of a two-year congress). This is a pocket veto, and the bill dies after 10 days of being submitted to the president. A pocket veto applies only when the Congress is not in session.
