because a President can either sign it anyway, NOT sign it (and it becomes law in 10 days), or VETO it, and the Senate would need 67 votes to override.

E.g. - Reconciliation redux? Pelosi, Schumer huddle with Biden

In other words, if a party controls both chambers and the President is from the same party, then they try to coordinate the legislation to make sure that they get the votes they need from each chamber and the President will sign it (Pelosi was a master at that and "counting" before introducing any bill to the floor for a vote).
