The President The President has the power to veto laws but I don't think he is part of congress. If a president veto's a law, the two houses of congress can try to override the veto. Anyway, I believe congress can veto.

No- the word "veto' is not used to any action by Congress.

Congress can repeal a law which means to cancel it or nullify it. The word "veto" is used for the president's action of objecting to a bill that has been passed and sending it back to Congress with his objections. "Veto" means "I forbid" in Latin.

The Congress cannot veto a law. The Congress (House if Representatives), makes the law. It then goes to the Senate which vote on the bill and pass as is, it make changes or votes on it and passes it as is. If they change it add something to the bill, it goes back to the "House" to vote and approve on the changes. If approved, it then goes to the President ,the only one with veto power. The President can only veto the "entire" bill, not individual parts of the bill although it's been years that Congress has tried to pass a bill to allow the the President to veto certain parts of the bill

(line-item veto), but has been unable to get it passed. Therefore the President has to veto the entire bill. But the Senate can overide the veto and get the bill passed, but needs 2/3 of theSenayr to vote 'aye" instead of the usual 51%.

No. Congress writes and approves laws. The President has the power to veto (block) a proposed law. If enough members of Congress feel it should be law, they can override the President's veto.
