It is Latin for "I forbid".

The president and state governors have the power to veto legislation, which means to reject it -- prevent it from becoming law.

In politics, a veto is the power of one branch of a government to cancel or postpone the decisions, enactments, etc., of another branch. For example, the president can veto (cancel) any laws passed in Congress.
