What does it mean to veto a law?

Answer 1

All legislation passed by both houses of Congress must be presented to the President. This presentation is in the President's capacity as Head of State.

If the President approves of the legislation, he signs it (sign into law). If he does not approve, he must return the bill, unsigned, within ten days, excluding Sundays, to the house of the United States Congress in which it originated, while the Congress is in session. The President is constitutionally required to state his objections to the legislation in writing, and the Congress is constitutionally required to consider them, and to reconsider the legislation. This action, in effect, is a veto.

Answer 2

To become a law of the land the President has to sign it in to law as head of state. If the President disagrees with a law passed by congress and the senate, he/she has the rite to refuse to sign it under the terms of the US Constitution. In doing so he is exercising this rite and it is called a Presidential Veto.
