How can a veto be overridden?

• A. 3/5 Vote from each chamber
• B. 2/3 Vote from each chamber
• C. Simple majority in both chambers
• D. Unanimous consent of the governor

Answer: (B)

A veto can be overridden only with a supermajority in both chambers. In Georgia, that means two-thirds of the members elected to each chamber must vote in favor of the bill after the governor’s veto. If both chambers achieve that two-thirds threshold, the veto is overridden and the bill becomes law despite the governor’s action. A 3/5 vote isn’t enough, and a simple majority won’t meet the required two-thirds standard. Unanimous consent is not required and isn’t how overrides are typically accomplished.
