What are differences between presidential and Congressional election?
Congressional elections are every two years. Every other congressional election is also a presidential election. Two of every three elections you also elect a senator from your state. (Senators serve for 6 years and their elections are staggered so you usually don't vote for both senators in one election). Those elections that are -just- congressional tend not to get as big a voter turnout. Most people don't even know who their congressional representatives are. More people care about presidential elections. Congressmen and Senators are elected by direct vote--whoever gets the most votes win. Presidents are elected by the electoral college, so whoever gets the most votes in your state gets -all- your state's electoral votes.

Can the US Congress override a partial presidential veto?
No, because the President of the United States cannot ISSUE a partial veto. More-accurately referred to as a “Line-item veto,” this is a power that many state governors have (as a recent example, Ohio Governor John Kasich recently signed a new state budget into law, but exercised a line item veto o a provision within that budget which would have restricted Medicaid in Ohio), but which the President does not. He or she can only veto an entire bill, or sign the entire bill, but cannot pick and choose parts of it to sign and parts of it to veto. It’s an up-or-down on the whole thing.
How can The U.S. Congress overrule the president?
The US CONSTITUTION gives them that power. The mechanics of how vary according to what they are specifically overruling.If he vetoes a bill that they passed, they can override the veto with a two thirds majority.If it was a nomination to a position, they can refuse confirm, or refuse to even consider it for a vote.If it's a recess appointment, they can impeach and remove the appointee.
Can Congress gerrymander the US map for presidential and/or Congressional elections?
No.The Presidential election is already effectively immune to gerrymandering because it’s conducted as a series of state-based elections. (This is the same reasoning behind the argument that the Senate can’t be gerrymandered). One can argue that one party or another might hold an unwarranted advantage in the Senate thanks to even the smallest states getting 2 Senators, but that advantage is diminished considerably in Presidential elections by design thanks to the Electoral College.House districts are drawn by the states, so Congress can’t redraw them without state legislatures’ cooperation. I read of one example where a powerful Republican Congressman from California brokered a deal with the post-2000 redistricting map in that state - rather than attempting to carve out yet more Democratic seats, which would’ve been difficult, he convinced state legislators to redistrict with “incumbent protection” in mind. But that wasn’t a formal exercise of lawmaking authority he was using; he instead persuaded the state legislature to go along.
Can the US President override a veto from the US Congress?
Yes a US President could override a veto from US Congress if he felt that he needed to. However, US Congress cannot override a veto from the President unless (this rarely happens and is rarely granted) permission is grant to put forward an amendatory veto. Although they are entitled to override a Presidential veto this is rare done. The threat of presidential veto is sufficient motivation for Congress to modify the bill prior to its final passage.
Does the US President need to sign a bill which Congress has passed with a two-third (2/3) vote to become a law?
Yes. The number of votes a bill gets on its way to the President’s desk the first time isn’t relevant to the procedure by which a bill becomes law (either by the President signing it, or by letting 10 days pass while Congress is in session.) If a bill has overwhelming Congressional support the first time, it is usually taken to mean that Congress will override if the President vetoes it, but the actual override must be a second, separate, vote from the original votes for the bill.This last came up in summer of 2017, when Congress passed, with an overwhelming majority (98–2 in the Senate, 419–3 in the House) a bill adding more sanctions against Russia and stripping the President’s authority to unilaterally end those sanctions. It was obvious the bill had more than 2/3 majority behind it, and it was also obvious that if the Donald vetoed it that the veto itself would be a piece of evidence for why the bill needed to exist in the first place. But there was still some debate as to whether he would go through with a veto anyway.Original question:Does the US President need to sign a bill which Congress has passed with a two-third (2/3) vote to become a law?
