  Another key power of the president is the power of veto. Bills passed by Congress require the president’s signature to become law. At this point, the president has two options, they can either sign the bill, making it law, or veto it, sending it back to Congress unsigned along with an explanation of their decision
• example + analysis 1

  For example, in 2020, Donald Trump vetoed a bill related to Iran’s powers in conflict situations, exercising his authority to reject legislation he felt was not in the best interest of the country. This shows the president’s ability to directly oppose Congressional decisions.
• point 2

  However, if Congress strongly disagrees with the presidential veto, they can override it with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate.

  For example, in 2020, the House voted to overturn President Trump’s veto of the gargantuan annual defense authorization bill. This highlights the balance of power in the U.S. government.
• overall 


   Overall, the Legislative Branch dominates over the Executive Branch by proposing and passing laws, and by overturning the president’s veto when necessary.
