Both chambers, they are both divided into units which both have to shared in order to check one another against tyranny. They are equal in power but differ very differently from one another.

Answer:

Both Houses

Step-by-step explanation:

A presidential veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress. This is taken from the U. S. Senate website itself:

"The process by which each chamber of Congress votes on a bill vetoed by the President. To pass a bill over the president's objections requires a two-thirds vote in each Chamber. Historically, Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of all presidential vetoes"
