He can ask for such a session whenever he thinks it is needed. But just like the Speaker of the House can't call the President and say "assemble your cabinet, I'd like to talk to them", the President can't actually "call a joint session". He sends a letter to the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader and REQUESTS a joint session. It still requires a concurrent resolution of both House and Senate.

If both houses of Congress pass the bill, it is sent to the President. If the president signs it, is becomes the law. If the President does not sign it, or actively vetoes it, it goes back to Congress. If it is passed by both houses of Congress again, it automatically becomes law, although override of a President's veto is realtively uncommon.

The executive branch, specifically the president, has the power to call a meeting of both houses of Congress. This is known as a joint session of Congress and is typically done to deliver important messages or proposals.
Both houses can propose laws but they must be approved by both houses and the president.
Congress has the chance to override the veto. However, it takes 2/3 of both houses to do that. With the current membership in Congress, that means that it takes 290 Representatives and 67 Senators. They have to override it before that particular Congressional session ends. If the session ends, then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over, next time.
