Since this question was asked in the "US Constitution" category, we may assume that the intent was to limit the scope of the question to that document.
According to Article 1, Section 7 of the US Constitution, the President can effectively veto legislation by refusing to sign it - although the word "veto" never actually appears in that section.

∙ 13y agoThe president has the power to veto a bill before it becomes law. He can not do anything about a law that has already passed or that Congress passes over his veto. The Supreme Court can invalidate a law by ruling that it violates the Constitution.
In the US and many other countries what happens is Laws get repealed, new laws also get passed and judges interpretate the meaning of laws.

∙ 12y agoAccording to Article 1. Section 7 of the US Constitution:
... Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. ...
When the President returns a bill without his signature (and with his objections), this is considered a veto of the legislation. The President is termed to have exercised his veto power.
