The correct choice is:
The veto can be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses.
Explanation: After the president vetoes a bill, Congress can attempt to override the veto; if two-thirds of both the House and the Senate vote to override, the bill becomes law despite the veto. If they fail to reach two-thirds in either chamber, the bill does not become law. (Note: a pocket veto is a special case when the president takes no action and Congress adjourns—then the bill simply dies and cannot be overridden.)
