for a law to become legal, it must be signed by the
president.... a bill is a proposed law submitted for approval by
the president by both houses of congress (senate and the house of
representatives)... a veto is the presidential prerogative not to
approve the law if he is contrary to it. if that is the case, it is
then returned back to the congress for more deliberations and
re-submitted to the president for approval. if he vetoes it again,
i think congress can pass the law by two-thirds majority... if the
bill becomes a law and it turned out to be disadvantageous to the
people, it is congress who gets blamed and not the president for
letting it become a law...
