The power to "veto" a bill is actually only held by the president. Once both the House of Representatives and the Senate approves a bill (by a two-thirds majority), it is sent to the president to be looked over. Once he reads it, he can either decide to approve it and make it an official law, or he can veto it, and it goes back to the House and Senate, where they either decide to revise it and revote on it, or they trash it completely.
