it is difficult to overthrow a presidential veto because each house has to have a two-thirds majority vote to overthrow The veto. it is difficult because 2/3 is more than 1/2 and it has to be in each house so it is very difficult. I think this is a good thing because if Congress wanted to pass a bill the president did not like then it is hard for them to pass it and the president is the leader so he should make the big decisions.
