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.
Though the presidential veto is a formidable power, the ability of Congress to override it ensures that the president does not have full authority over what becomes law and what does not. Members of Congress, both of the House of Representatives and the Senate, are elected by popular vote.
