It is a way the executive branch limits the power of the legislative branch.
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.
Laws that are passed in the Senate and House have to go to the President to be signed into law. So, the President can veto a law. However, if the President vetoes a law, it goes back to Congress and will still become a law if 2/3 of Congress votes for it.
The President can veto it,but the Congress can surpass the President's veto with a 2/3 vote.
The President
The Legislative Branch (Congress) makes the laws. The law they make then goes to the Executive Branch (the President). The President can either sign the law, to make it become an actual United States Law, or he can veto it. To veto means to not approve a law passed by Congress. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress (House of Representatives and Senate) agree, Congress can override the President's veto.
The president can veto any bill that congress submits to him. By refusing to sign a bill into law, the president can prevent a law of which he disapproves. If the president vetoes a bill, the congress can override the veto, but it takes a 2/3 majority vote to accomplish this. This is very difficult.
The first example is how congress checks the President: congress has to approve his cabinet appointments, Supreme Court appointees, and treaties. The President checks congress by having veto power over bills that they have passed.
The branch of government that can veto bills is the executive branch, typically represented by the President. Once a bill is passed by the legislative branch (Congress), the President has the option to approve the bill by signing it into law or reject it by vetoing it.
1)The president (executive branch) can veto a law passed by Congress(legislative branch) which can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in Congress. 2) The Supreme Court (Judicial branch)can declare a law passed by Congress (legislative branch) as unconstitutional if the case is brought before the court.
this would be an example of checks and balances.
