What happens if a president vetoes a bill?

veto - The procedure established under the Constitution by which the president refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the president returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The president usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. The veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House. Summary of Bills Vetoed, 1789-present

This veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.

If this occurs, the bill becomes law over the President's objections.

A pocket veto occurs when Congress adjourns during the ten-day period. The president cannot return the bill to Congress.
