The president of the US can veto any legislation passed by Congress. Congress has the right to then forget the bill, modify it and hope the president will sign it on the next try, or try to override the veto with super-majorities in both houses.
The president of the US does not have the right to veto specific things within a bill. He must accept or decline the entire bill.
There is a tricky workaround with financial bills with more than one line item, where the president can tell Congress he is signing the bill but refusing to fund a specific part of it.

∙ 13y agoThe president's veto power gives him the ability to override a bill which was passed by congress. The veto itself can be overridden if the congress votes in favor of it with a 3/4 majority. The veto power is one example of the intricate system of checks and balances that exist in our three branches of government to maintain balance and make sure that no one branch becomes too powerful.

∙ 12y agoVeto is Latin for "I forbid", so the veto power of the president can forbid, or "not approve" a proposal of a bill to become law. But, there are checks and balances. He has to send it back to Congress with his objections within 15 days of the veto, which will be reviewed and either dropped, reworked and sent back to the president, or overridden if there is 2/3rds majority for the bill to become law, thus overriding the president, but again, it has to be by a 2/3rds majority to override the president's veto.
