As I understand the national emergency law congress can disapprove of the national emergency with a majority vote, but POTUS can veto it. So the 2/3 would be required to override the veto.
I don’t think the Senate would vote in a majority but it’s still a close line at 53.
The thing is the image of vetoing it would be used as a weapon against him - “see he’s a despot” or something along those lines.
I don’t think they can override a national emergency order simply due to the fact that it’s an EMERGENCY. Congress and the courts don’t have all the intelligence that the Administration are privy to. A National Emergency should take it out of the realm of politics and into the area of National Command Authority.
