The President having the power of veto is an example of the checks and balances of the constitution. The framers put into effect the checks and balances to ensure that no one branch of the government had too much power.
These are examples of checks and balances the individual branches exercise over each other under the separate powers doctrine in order to prevent any single branch or entity from gaining too much power.
Checks and balances refers to a system of separating government so that each part keeps the others from taking too much power. The U.S. Constitution divides government into three branches: the legislative, the judicial and the executive branch. Each branch has certain authorities and the other branches check (control) those authorities. For example, the president can veto legislation passed in Congress.
A presidential veto is an example a primary constitutional principle called the Balance of Powers. A veto can be overridden by a two thirds vote of the House of Representatives and Senate.
