How does the supreme court override the veto by president?
A president can veto a bill that the congress passes and sends to him for his signature and he can refuse to sign it (vetoing it). But the president cannot override vetos. The congress can override president's veto by a 2/3 vote.
Can the president veto legislation from congress?
No, the Congress can't veto a bill. It is the Presidentwho can. Congress is the Legislative Branch of government, and it is their job to make the law by passing bills. The President is the head of the Executive Branch of government, and it is his option to either sign or refuse to sign a given bill.
What are two Presidential ways you can veto the law?
He can veto a bill and he can "pocket veto" one. A pocket veto is when he does nothing and it sits on his desk for 10 days. At that point it is a veto. This is handy because the law maybe popular but he doesn't want to veto it, so he does nothing either way. In the last several years a third way has been used and that is a signing statement. The President signs the bill into law, but then signs a statement that it shouldn't be enforced. Bush did this with about 800 laws. I don't know if Obama has done any signing statements. This really got going under Clinton who did several hundred in his 8 years.
How many days does a president have to sign a bill?
When a president opposes a bill, he may try to stop it from becoming law by vetoing it. Many vetoes are immediate, but he has a ten-day period during which he can do it. When congress is in session, and the president vetoes a bill, the proposed bill can then goes back to congress, which can try to over-ride the president's veto. This requires a 2/3 majority in both houses of congress. Sometimes a president can stop a bill another way. If congress is not in session, he can simply do nothing for ten days, which is called a "pocket veto," and the bill will not become law, because congress is not in session to try to over-ride it.
What branch of government can overide a veto?
No. The President's veto power is part of the law-making process. Only the Legislative Branch (Congress) can override his (or her) veto with a two-thirds majority vote of each the House of Representatives and the Senate. This formula does not apply to a "pocket veto." A pocket veto can be executed at or near the end of a session of Congress, if a bill is presented for signing with fewer than ten days left before recess. If the President chooses to ignore the bill, it is automatically vetoed. The only remedy for a pocket veto is reintroducing the bill in the next session of Congress.

How does the system of checks and balances make it difficult for congress to pass a law that the president opposes?
A bill passes, in theory, with a majority of 50% + 1. If a President opposes a bill, he can veto it. Then the only way it can become law is if both houses of Congress vote by a 2/3 majority to override the veto.
How does the president use veto power to change or challenge new laws?
A President of the United States has the right to veto or say 'no' to any law that comes before him. The President can also veto a part of a bill, so that Congress might go back over the bill and revise it before it is fully passed. In this way, the President might be getting things done that were on his agenda when he took office.
How do you have a three way call?

How does congress limit the power of the president?
