He or she can veto bills passed by congress
No. The Congress derives its power from the Constitution, not from the president. The president and Congress are co-equal branches of the govenerment: the president cannot suspend the congress, and the Congress cannot suspsend the Presidency
Article one gives the president the power to veto bills passed by congress.
The President has the power to veto congressional legislation.
The president has the power to veto legislation passed by congress and has the power to reccommend action to Congress... Recommending Power "shall from time to time give the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient [proper]."
Only Congress can levy taxes. The President, through the IRS (a branch of the Treasury Dept.) collects the taxes.
The President exists to execute the laws that the legislative branch passes. If the legislative branch chooses not to pass a law that would give the President a power over something he wants, then he does not have that power. If the President does something that is not expresssly forbidden by existing law, Congress can pass a law that does expressly forbid him/her from doing it. If the President wanted a particular type of law passed, like a tax cut, Congress could refuse to do it because only Congress can authorize a tax cut. Also, Congress is the branch that appropriates money to be used by the President to do things. This is called the "power of the purse". If Congress does not give the President the money to do something, then he cannot do it. For example, if the President wanted a one million soldier army at all times but Congress felt that 500,000 soldiers is enough, Congress can control the President's wishes by appropriating only enough money for 500,000 soldiers. The executive branch has the power to do things, but the legislative branch has the power to limit the things he can do.
Declaring war is not one of the president's powers. Congress is the only one to have the power to declare war.
It is part of the balance of power. Each branch must check the other and this is one way the President is checked.
