Presidential Veto
A presidential veto is the power of the President of the United States to reject a bill passed by Congress. When Congress sends a bill to the President, he or she can either sign it into law or veto it, meaning it will not become law. The President typically vetoes a bill if they disagree with it or believe it is not in the nation's best interest. Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, allowing the bill to become law despite the President's objection.
