After the President vetoes a bill, the Constitution allows the legislature to override the veto with a \(\frac{3}{4}\) majority in both the House of Representatives (300 members) and the Senate (100 members). If 210 members of the House and 72 members of the Senate vote to override, can the veto be successfully overridden?
