can pass or veto bills which can be overriden, can make executive orders
After a bill has passed Congress it goes to the President of the United States for review. If the President agrees with the bill, he will sign it into law. If he does not he will veto it and send it back to Congress. Then Congress must have a vote to override the veto and get a 2/3 majority in both houses to override it.

There are two other options that the President has, If Congress is in session and the President takes no action within 10 days, the bill becomes law. If Congress adjourns before 10 days are up and the President takes no action, then the bill dies and Congress may not vote to override. This is called a pocket veto, and if Congress still wants to pass the legislation, they have to start the process all over again..
