The presidential veto is instrumental to the checks and balances system, upon which the American government is based. Under this system, powers are actually shared; in the instance of the veto, it represents a sharing of the power over legislation between Congress and the president, based on the general proposition that power sharing is a viable means by which to avoid tyranny.
