A presidential veto is a formal rejection by the President of a bill passed by Congress. The President has ten days (excluding Sundays) to sign or veto a bill. If the President does not sign the bill within ten days, it becomes law without the President's signature. If the President vetoes the bill, it is returned to Congress. Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
