From Ballotpedia Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution of the United States gives the president of the United States the ability to veto a bill passed by Congress. A veto prevents a bill from being enacted into law. A presidential veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House. When Congress overrides a veto, the bill becomes law without the president's approval.
The president can issue a regular veto or a pocket veto.
