14th amendment.
Congress overruled Johnson's veto.
While the President can suggest legislation, the actual letter of the law (specifics) is written by Congress. If a bill is passed by Congress than the President can sign the bill into law or veto it, having another impact on law-making.
Legislation refers to the body of laws and acts enacted by the governing members of the country pr state (i.e.: Congress - Parliament - Legislature - etc).
Legislation.
Not all laws that pass congress are needed, repeat all ready made legislation, are illegal, or just bad. The president having veto power acts as a check on the legislative branch.
Theoretically in the United States, it is congress. The constitution gives congress the right to overrule any Supreme Court decision. It has never done that.

An example of Congress having too much power is the fact that they can impeach even the president. The Congress is the part of the legislative branch of government.
The American government cannot spend taxpayer money without legislation because the legislation keeps the government in check and helps to keep a record of what is being spent. Without these records, Congress could spend money on whatever it wanted to, without having to answer to anyone.
