So, if this is initially approved with a 2/3 majority can he still veto it and then they have to vote again? Or is there such a thing as a “veto-proof” initial passing?
Thank you for explaining. I feel like I’m becoming an armchair constitutional process hobbyist this year (against my natural inclinations). I appreciate you, and all the knowledgeable people who take the time to help educate.
Well, technically he can. Then Congress can just override it with two-thirds majority. Grow those spines — you got this.

They always need to vote again, sometimes a president veto will cause a bill to lose support and reps have an opportunity to change their vote.
Sometimes though presidents won’t veto if it passes initially at that threshold, depending how embedded they are in their perspective.

TBF, this is basic civics. I’m pretty sure you need to know more than this to take a citizenship test.
Education in this country is woefully deficient.
