The power to veto or disapprove legislation is one of the president's constitutional powers. A vetoed bill can still become law but must be passed again with a 2/3 majority in order to become law after a veto.
This is called a "line-item veto." It is used very commonly, as bills are generally enormous documents, and much of the time, the President dislikes part of the bill, and is completely in favor of another part. This eliminates the hassle of rewriting a bill because of a few small clauses that the President dislikes.

The power of the "line item veto" is implied when a legislature leaves a blank signature space next to portions and monetary appropriations on a final bill sent to the executive.
