Someone proposes a bill. Then a committee looks it over to determine if it should become a law. Then the committee votes to send it to the floor. It has to pass both the Senate and the House. Then it is sent to the President. If the President signs, it becomes a law. If not, it is sent back to Congress. If a 3/4 vote approves, it becomes a law even if the President refused to sign it.

What power does the president have to do to any law?

Once a bill becomes a law, the President must abide by it just like the rest of us. However, when a completed bill is presented to him/her for his/her signature, if he/she agrees with it, he/she signs it, and it becomes a law. If he/she does not like it, he/she can veto it. But if at least two thirds of both houses of Congress disagree with the President, they can override his/her veto, and it becomes a law without the President's signature.
