In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.

(c) If the governor vetoes all or a part of an appropriation for the integrated comprehensive mental health program, the governor’s veto message must explain the vetoes in light of the authority’s recommendations for expenditures from the general fund for the state’s integrated comprehensive mental health program.
