As I understand it, the presidential veto can be overcome by a vote of the Congress, is that correct? I don't know the details (I could google it of course but that would defeat the multi-layered purposes of my asking in the first place) but I believe it requires a pretty decent vote of the legislature to overcome the veto.
Yes, I think Congress can override a veto..with a certain majority
