Answer: This statement is true. The president has the power to Veto Congressional legislation
Explanation:
The US Constitution under article 1, section 7 states that the President has the power to veto legislation or joint resolutions. Any Order, Resolution, or Vote in the Senate or House of Representatives needs to be presented to the President before taking effect. If the President disagrees or objects to a bill or resolution, he can veto it by sending it back to Congress along with a document explaining the reasons for his objections, this is know as direct veto. The bill can also not become a law if the President withholds signing the bill withing 10 days and Congress adjourns during that period. The only way to overwrite a Presidential veto is when a majority of two-thirds of both the House and Senate vote against the veto.
