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.

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.
