Even if the POTUS wrote an executive order, Congress can veto it down and so can state Congress'. A 2/3 majority in Congress can veto an executive order.

Congress can't 'veto' an executive order.

I thought they could if 2/3rd's majority vote against it.
According to what I read, Congress can try to repeal an executive order but technically the Senate and House could agree on a bill that would nullify the order. In the end, President could veto the bill forcing a two thirds vote by Congress to override the veto. But not sure how correct this information is.

That is correct, which is different than what you originally said.   :wink:
