Can the president only carry out the laws he supports?
If a law has passed congress and the president opposes it, he can veto that law. Refusing to sign it sends it back to congress, which can try to over-ride his veto; that does not always happen, however, because it requires a 2/3 majority in each house. That said, even if a president opposes or objects to a law, if congress has passed it, and they then over-ride his veto, it becomes a law, whether he likes it or not.

How many days does a president have to sign a bill?
When a president opposes a bill, he may try to stop it from becoming law by vetoing it. Many vetoes are immediate, but he has a ten-day period during which he can do it. When congress is in session, and the president vetoes a bill, the proposed bill can then goes back to congress, which can try to over-ride the president's veto. This requires a 2/3 majority in both houses of congress. Sometimes a president can stop a bill another way. If congress is not in session, he can simply do nothing for ten days, which is called a "pocket veto," and the bill will not become law, because congress is not in session to try to over-ride it.

Why is the presidential veto such a powerful tool?
It is main tool the president has to restrain Congress. Congress will pass laws if they believe the president will veto them when it comes to his desk, therefore he can partly enforce his political agenda within many pieces of legislation as congress are susceptible to threat of it. This ensures it is an effective negotiating tool too.
