Two/Thirds of the vote in both the House and Senate yeah? It's so hard to imagine that happening in this modern obstructionist era.
But the result of a presidential veto wouldn't be more money spent, it would be none. So the president essentually has the choice of accepting what congress passes or shutting down government. The president can"t pass his own budget with a veto, only potentially prevent one from being passed. (Unless overidden with that 2/3 majority).
