Policy != Legislation. For example, let's say a President develops a policy to veto every bill that's sent to him that doesn't include some provision forcing people to wear purple. During his term, only laws that force people to wear purple will pass, unless 66% (more than a majority) of Congress supports it.
The president can have any policy he wants, a 2/3 vote in congress will 'cancel' (if you will) his veto.

In my previous example, let's say there is a 60% majority in favor of a bill, but it doesn't include anything about wearing purple. It wouldn't pass, even with a clear majority.
