    As a non american. What are the rules for the presidential veto.

    I remember it being something like this

    Pass once he can veto Pass twice he can’t Pass with 2/3 he can’t

      The House and the Senate pass a new bill/law (majority vote), the president has to sign it. If the president vetos it, it goes back and the legislature can override the veto with a 2/3 vote.

      There are some other goofy things with pocket vetoes and whatnot, but that’s basically it.
