What is the outcome of a presidential veto?

When a president vetoes a bill, the outcome is that the bill is rejected unless Congress takes action to override the veto. This occurs when the president formally communicates their refusal to sign the bill into law, typically accompanied by reasons for the veto. The Constitution allows Congress to attempt to override this decision, which requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If Congress successfully overrides the veto, the bill then becomes law despite the president's objection. If they fail to reach the required majority, the veto stands, and the bill does not become law. The other options either misrepresent the process, such as implying the bill is withdrawn from consideration or sent back to the House without the possibility of override.
