If Congress overrides a veto with a two-thirds vote in both houses, what happens?

• A. The Bill Fails and Dies
• B. The Bill Becomes Law Even After a Veto
• C. The President Can Recall the Veto
• D. The Supreme Court Must Review the Bill

Answer: (B)

The idea here is how Congress can check the President’s veto. When both chambers vote to override, requiring a two-thirds majority in each, the bill becomes law even without the President’s signature. That two-thirds threshold shows broad, bipartisan support for the measure, enough to prevail despite the President’s objections. The President cannot recall a veto once issued, and an override doesn’t automatically send the bill to the Supreme Court. The Court would only review the law if a constitutional challenge arises later, not because an override happened. So, a successful two-thirds override means the bill takes effect as law regardless of the veto.
