Answer:

In California, the legislature can override a governor's veto by passing the bill again with a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers: the State Assembly and the State Senate. If the governor vetoes a bill, the bill is returned to the legislature with the reasons for the veto. At this point, legislators have the option to reconsider the bill. If both the State Assembly and the State Senate vote by a two-thirds majority to pass the bill again, it becomes law despite the governor's initial veto. This supermajority requirement is designed to be a significant hurdle, ensuring that a broad consensus exists among legislators before overturning a governor's veto and enacting legislation into law.
