In the American government, there are three branches to the federal government. These include the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Each of these branches has the ability to check the action/power of the other branches.

In this case, the executive branch (aka president) has the ability to stop a bill passed by Congress from becoming a law by using the power of the veto.

Further Explanation:-

The constitution of the United States is divided into three parts which are Legislative, Executive and Judicial. This was done in order to give particular powers to each branch and set up a system which is known as a system of Checks and Balances. The working of Checks and Balances is to make sure that no branch in the constitution of the United States should be able to control too much power and thus it created the separation of powers. The Legislative branch in United States is the branch which makes all the laws but President of United States has the power to Veto those laws as he has a presidential Veto along with this the President in Executive branch can Veto a law but the legislative branch has the power to override that veto by use of enough votes. Along with this, the legislative branch has the power to approve nominations made by the President as wellas control over budget and it also has powers to impeach the President from his office.
