Wisconsin's State Senators meet at the State Capitol building in Madison to deliberate and vote on bills.  For a bill to become a law it must be passed in both houses of Wisconsin's legislature-- the Senate and the Assembly, and the Governor has to sign the bill into law.  If the Governor vetoes the bill then it goes back to the legislature for another vote.  This time two-thirds of both the Senate and the Assembly have to agree to overturn the veto.
