Not directly. But of course, without veto, the president's power would be decreased greatly, making the congress and senate superior. This is AGAINST the constitution. The Constitution talks about balance of power and no particular group/person having to much power.
Art. I, Sec. 7, Cl. 2:
"Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law."
It is in Section 7:
"Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law."
It is provided for in Article I, Section 7, Clause 3, but the word "veto" is never used in the document.

This is part of the US constitution.
False. The Constitution gives Congress the ability to override a presidential veto, but only if at least 2/3 of the members of both the House and the Senate vote to do so. Otherwise, a presidential veto kills the bill.
2/3 to override a presidential veto
Each chamber must have a 2/3rds vote in order to override a presidential veto. Congress rarely overrides a presidential veto.
The Virginia Plan Proposed this process of undoing a veto
congress has overruled a presidential veto about 200 times
67 senators and 291 members of the house have to vote to override the presidential veto
The presidential veto was a part of the original Constitution written by the Founding Fathers. Although the constitution does not state that the President has veto powers, the President has to sign legislation into law. This in effect is a veto. However if the President does not sign into law a piece of legislation within 10 days then he is constitutionally required to send it back to Congress with his objections in writing.
The legislative branch has the power to override a presidential veto. Overriding the veto requires a two-thirds vote margin. Article 1, Section 7 of the US Constitution describes the power to veto.
There is no such thing as the constitutional status of the so-called presidential line-item veto. It was proposed but never confirmed to be constitutional, rather, the Constitution makes no provision for such a privilege.
