Good question. Maybe we should amend the constitution. I believe too much power is in the hands of the President. Look at Bush and the WMD. How about Gitmo?

A presidential veto is one of those checks.



I could ask why Congress has to approve presidential appointments to his cabinet, but that is just another example of a check on one of the branches' power. Why does the Presidential Office have the ability to veto any legislation they do not approve of?
the power of checks and balance.
Balance of power. It prevents on branch from taking over.Why does the Presidential Office have the ability to veto any legislation they do not approve of?
The Presidents veto power is vested in the office by the Constitution, as one of several "checks and balances", the intent of which is to balance power among the various branches of government. All it does is require the Legislative branch to re-vote and secure a 2/3 vote to override, and let's face it, if a law can't get 2/3 approval, how good can it be?
It's called checks and balances. Each branch of the federal government has some ability to stop something extreme in the other branches. It keeps one part of government from becoming too strong. It is a result of our founding fathers rebelling against a monarchy which could capriciously make decisions without consent of the people and they didn't want that to happen here.
Yes, but congress may override the veto, if there are enough votes.

Now who is the moron who gave me a thumbs down, idiot!

No wonder we keep voting in idiots like George Bush. People you should go back to school and learn how your government works. My answer is not negotiable, it is written that way in the constitution to work that way.
It's called "checks and balances."



The President can veto legislation passed by Congress -- but the Congress, in turn, can override the veto and pass the legislation anyway if they have enough votes to do so.



Also, the President can appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges -- but Congress must confirm them.



And if Congress passes some whacky, out-of-control law, the Supreme Court can declare it unconstitutional.



It's all about the three branches of government counter-balancing one another's power.



For the last 221 years, I'd say it's served us rather well.



.
It's one of those checks and balances built into the US political system.



Keep in mind, though, that Congress can "veto the veto" with a 2/3 majority.
Checks and balances, for sure.

Although the president is not 'King', he is the boss, applesauce!
He can write veto. The doesn't mean that Congress can't override him. That's why all your representatives try to persuade The House and The Senate. Those are the voting parties that actually decide every issue before the government. That's called checks and balances.
It's checks and balances, buddy



Once the Congress passes a bill, then it is sent to the President, who can either sign or veto the bill, once the bill is signed it is law, but if it is vetoed, it is sent back to Congress who can either revive it and override the veto, or let it go.



Then of course, there is the Supreme Court, who makes the decision on the Constitutionality of the law.



And yes, checks and balances work.
The veto is part of the system of checks and balances, a very important part of the Constitution.



Checks and balances are used to make sure that one part of the government does not over-power another part.



There are three branches in the U.S. government and those are the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch; with the system of checks and balances the powers of each of these branches are limited.
