Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution, a presidential veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. This means that if two-thirds of the members of each chamber vote to override the veto, the bill becomes law despite the president's objections. Option A is incorrect because a new version of the bill can actually pass in the session during which it was vetoed, but only if the bill is reintroduced and repassed with the necessary votes. Option B is incorrect because a simple majority vote is not enough to override a presidential veto. Option D is also incorrect because both the House and Senate must achieve a two-thirds majority vote to override a veto.
