What is it called where the president can kill a bill?
Veto
Two ways the president can kill a bill?
Two ways that a president can kill a bill that has been passed in both houses are used on occasion. One is a direct veto and the other is a pocket veto when the president does not sign the bill within 30 days.
Why does the president use the threat of a veto?
Because Congress cannot override it. The Constitution provides that a President has ten days (Sundays excepted) in which to either sign or veto a bill. Otherwise, it becomes law without his signature "unless the adjournement of Congress prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law". This is to prevent Congress from evading the Presidential veto by passing a bill and than immediately adjourning, so that the President could not return the bill with a veto message. Accordingly, in the last ten days of a Congressional session, a a President may kill a bill without needing to veto it, simply by leaving it unsigned unil Congress adjourns. This is a "pocket veto".
What three choices does the President have when a signed bill reaches his desk?
There are actually four options: 1. Sign the bill into law. 2. Allow the bill to become law without his signature. If the President does not sign the bill or veto it within ten days, the bill becomes law without his signature. 3. Veto the bill. The President vetoes a bill by announcing he will not sign the bill and sending it back to Congress. Usually the President's veto message indicates his objection to the bill. A veto can be overridden with a two-thirds majority vote of each House of Congress. If the veto is overridden, the bill becomes law without the President's signature. If the two-thirds vote is not reached in both Houses, the bill dies. Congress can modify the vetoed bill and send back a new bill to the President for his signature. 4. Pocket veto. If there are fewer than ten days left in the legislative session before adjournment, the President can kill a bill simply by letting the legislative calendar expire without actually vetoing it. This allows the President the option of not having the bill overridden since Congress will be out of session. This procedure is called a pocket veto.

Can the president veto legislation passed by both houses of congress?
Bills can't be passed without the president's involvement on some level. The president signs it, or vetoes it. If Congress over-rides the veto, the bill becomes law no matter what the president does. In that case the president cannot exercize another veto.
The president can do two things to the bill passed congress what are they?
veto it or pass it. 2nd Answer: Good answer, but the president can also simply not veto or sign it, but let it just sit there. Here's how it works: The President has 10 days, not counting Sundays to sign or veto a bill. If (s)he does neither and Congress is in session, the bill then passes just as if (s)he signed it. If (s)he does neither, and Congress is out of session, even if the President already has the bill, then the bill fails. This is called a 'pocket veto'. (Put the bill in your pocket and forget about it.)
If the president vetoes a bill and congress disagrees?
If the President vetoes a bill, it can be passed over his objection by a vote of 2/3 of each house of Congress. This is known as "overriding" the President's veto, and in this case, the bill becomes law even without the President's veto.

What limits the ability of the president to veto laws?
The President can not veto just a portion of a bill. He must veto an entire bill. Knowing this, Congress can bundle legislation -- say put a vital appropriation bill in with something controversial. The president must either veto the vital appropriation or else let the controversial part through. Of course, a veto does not completely kill a bill. Congress can still pass it, if they can get a 2/3 majority to vote for it.
Can the president veto a revenue bill?
