1 Add the stew meat and cook on high heat until meat is browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes.  Pour 2 cups water, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Stir in garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Action by both the House and the Senate is required to override a presidential veto. A two-thirds, supermajority vote of the Members present is required to override a presidential veto. If one house fails to override a veto, the other house does not attempt to override, even if the votes are present to succeed.
Best Answer: There are quorum rules for both House and Senate which require 2/3 of both to be present before business can be conducted. And besides, the Constitution requires 2/3 of the whole membership to override a veto. That means it takes a minimum of 67 Senators to vote to override. The number is fixed at 2/3 the WHOLE membership, not 2/3 of the members present. That's a high threshold to meet. Since 1789 there have been a grand total of 1173 presidential vetoes and only 106 successful overrides.
