At one time it took a 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress to over ride a Presidential Veto. But that was then and this is now.

I was now aware that a veto could be sustained. At one time the veto stood until it was over ridden. But as previously stated, that was then and this is now. Things have changed.

OK. I would really like to know what happens when a President Veto’s a bill. Now I guess and not before.
