The president has the right to veto any law that is passed by Congress. This keeps the bill from becoming a law. This veto can be overridden by Congress if 2/3 of both houses vote to overturn the veto.

The President rejects a bill from Congress (this is called a veto). It goes back to Congress. If 2/3 or more of Congress vote for the rejected bill it becomes a law despite the President.

Congress makes and votes on bills. The Senate edits and votes on the approved bills. Then, the president can sign the bill into a law. If he does not do so, it's a veto, and the bill does not become law. However, if 2/3 of Senate want the law passed, the Senate may override the veto.
