LaoIf a bill is not returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted), then it becomes law as if he had signed it. The only exception is if Congress adjourns within those 10 days and prevents the President from being able to return it, in which case it does not become law - this is referred to as a "pocket veto."

Does the president of the US have the right to veto bills frequently?
NO- the President can not veto or change a law that has been passed. He can veto a proposed law, known as a bill, and send it back to Congress. They can still make it a law, but must pass it again with a 2/3 favorable vote to make it a law over the President's veto.

What is a regular veto?
A veto is the constitutional procedure by which the President (or chief legislator of a state) refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution, and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President returns the legislation to the originating House without approval. It can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in each House. A pocket veto occurs when the President (or state governor) puts aside a bill and doesn't sign it for 10 days, and the Congress adjourns during that time. Since Congress has adjourned, it is unable to override this action and must begin the entire legislative process again. From 1996-1998, the President, like many state governors, had the right to choose to disapprove only particular items of a bill without having to disapprove the entire bill, which is called a line-item veto. It was declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1998, and the President no longer has the power of the line-item veto, thought state governors continue to have the right. == ==
