A president can veto a bill that the congress passes and sends to him for his signature and he can refuse to sign it (vetoing it). But the president cannot override vetos. The congress can override president's veto by a 2/3 vote.
In the US, the US Congress passes bills and they are sent to the president to be signed into law. Some bills, however, are vetoed by a president. The bill is then sent back to Congress and if a two thirds vote passes the bill, the bill is law. The president must sign such a bill.
Congress passes the legislation while the president can sign or veto it.
First a committee review your bill ( initial stage of law) then its further review during the second reading. Now it will send to Congress who will pass it then in the last President passes the bill and it became a law.
If both houses of Congress agree on a bill, it is sent to the President. The President can then can do one of three things: 1. sign and make it a law 2. veto it which means to send it back to Congress with his objection. 3. Just hold it. If he does this , it automatically becomes a law after 10 days unless Congress adjourns before the days are up. Otherwise, it dies as if it had been vetoed.
