veto-proof majority

A quick definition of veto-proof majority:

A veto-proof majority is a group of lawmakers who have enough votes to pass a law even if the leader of their government tries to stop it by using their veto power. This means that the leader cannot stop the law from being passed, even if they don't agree with it.

A more thorough explanation:

A veto-proof majority is a legislative majority that is large enough to override an executive veto. This means that if the executive (such as a president or governor) vetoes a bill, the legislative body can still pass the bill into law without the executive's approval.

For example, let's say that a state legislature passes a bill with a vote of 40-10. If the governor of that state vetoes the bill, the legislature would need a veto-proof majority of at least 2/3 (or 27 votes) to override the veto and pass the bill into law.

Another example is the United States Congress. In order to override a presidential veto, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must pass the bill again with a 2/3 majority in each chamber.
