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.
Override a veto
If both houses of congress pass it, it goes to the president. If and when he signs it, it becomes law.
The president will veto it
the president sings it.
If both houses of congress vote by 2/3 to override a presidential veto, it automatically becomes law despite the President's veto.
10 days
The U.S. Congress passes bills that become Federal Laws when the U.S. President signs them (although there are cases in which Congress can make a bill into a law without the President's approval), and each state Congress passes bills that become state laws when the Governor of the state signs them.
Congress must set its own pay.
checks and balances
Since the Constitution places the power and responsibility for passage of legislation with the Congress, passing a law is more an example of the basic function of the legislative branch than an example of checks and balances. However, it could become an example of checks and balances if Congress passes a law, the President vetoes it, and Congress then overrides the President's veto as provided in the Constitution.
"general assembly" is a term usually applied to a state legislature. The Governor of most states, if not all, has veto power.
