The president can veto any bill passed by Congress. This stops a divided Congress since a 2/3 majority is required to pass the bill over the veto. The president can fail to enforce laws that he does not like. Congress can fight back with impeachment or censure but there are usually serious political costs to such actions, so Congress often does nothing. The president can also use a "carrot and stick" approach to influence individual Congress members.
