Congress cannot veto a law. Any law must be written and passed by Congress in the first place. The president can then veto it. Congress can override the veto with a 2/3 majority. After a law is passed, the Supreme Court can strike it down if they declare the law unconstitutional.
The legislative branch has the power to override a presidential veto. Overriding the veto requires a two-thirds vote margin. Article 1, Section 7 of the US Constitution describes the power to veto.
