4. Review your constitution

Wednesday

The president has the power to veto a bill..

To veto a bill, he just has to return the unsigned bill to congress, with his objections, within ten days.

The only way it becomes law without his signature is if he doesn't sign it and also doesn't return it with objections within ten days.

Otherwise, presidential approval of bills would be essentially unnecessary.
