When a bill is vetoed, it means that the president of the United States refuses to sign it into law. Once the bill has been passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it is sent to the president for approval. If the president disagrees with the bill or has objections to its content, they have the power to veto it.
When a bill is vetoed, it does not become law. Instead, it goes back to the chamber where it originated, whether the House of Representatives or the Senate, for further consideration. The chamber can choose to either accept the veto and abandon the bill or try to override the veto.
In order to override a veto, both the House and the Senate need to vote with a two-thirds majority in favor of the bill. If the veto is successfully overridden, the bill becomes law without the president's signature. However, if the override attempt fails or is not even attempted, the bill is effectively dead and cannot become law in its current form.
It's important to note that a committee member does not have the power to veto a bill. The veto authority solely rests with the president. A committee member's role in relation to a bill is to review and consider it before it moves to the full chamber for debate and voting.
