veto power

Read a random definition: Military

A quick definition of veto power:

Veto power is a special power given to a leader, like a president or governor, that allows them to say "no" to a new law that has been passed by the lawmakers. This means that even if the lawmakers want to make a new law, the leader can stop it from happening. It's like having a "stop" button for new laws.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Veto power is the ability of an executive, such as a president or governor, to reject a law that has been passed by the legislature. This means that the law cannot go into effect unless the legislature overrides the veto with a two-thirds majority vote.

Example: The President of the United States has the power to veto bills passed by Congress. For example, if Congress passes a bill to increase taxes, the President can veto the bill and prevent it from becoming law. However, Congress can override the veto if two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate vote to do so.

Explanation: This example illustrates how veto power works in the United States. The President has the power to reject a bill passed by Congress, but Congress can still pass the bill into law if they have enough support to override the veto. This system helps to ensure that the executive and legislative branches of government work together to create laws that benefit the country as a whole.
