The power to veto or disapprove legislation is one of the president's constitutional powers. A vetoed bill can still become law but must be passed again with a 2/3 majority in order to become law after a veto.

This is called a "line-item veto." It is used very commonly, as bills are generally enormous documents, and much of the time, the President dislikes part of the bill, and is completely in favor of another part. This eliminates the hassle of rewriting a bill because of a few small clauses that the President dislikes.

A line-item veto would allow presidents to reject portions of a bill instead of the whole bill. The US had this briefly but it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1998.

They cannot. Many presidents, including President Obama, want what is called a line-item veto. This would allow the president to accept a bill, but reject certain portions of the bill.

The president is responsible for all the people in that country. If the bill goes against anyone and it is not to benefit everyone, then he can reject it. This is his job.

Reject Ho or do not reject H0?

Rejecting or Failing to reject the Null Hypothesis (Ho) depends of the P-Value. Generally, the P-value (probability( Observation | Ho ) ) is around .05, thus minimizing the Type 1 error rate. If the P-value < Alpha , you would reject the Ho, and instead believe the Ha (Alternative Hypothesis), and if the P-value > Alpha, you would Fail to reject the Ho because there is not enough evidence to believe the Ha.
