The President has the power to veto (disapprove) any bill passed by Congress. If he vetoes a bill, it dies unless Congress passes it again by a 2/3 majority.
While a bill is still under consideration, the President can let it be known that he will veto it , if it contains certain clauses that he dislikes. The threat of a veto often modified the bills before they are passed , or causes them to die without passing.

Accordingly, in the last ten days of a Congressional session, a a President may kill a bill without needing to veto it, simply by leaving it unsigned unil Congress adjourns. This is a "pocket veto".
