Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Returning the unsigned bill to Congress constitutes a veto. If Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote in each house, it becomes law without the president’s signature. Otherwise, the bill fails to become law. Historically, the Congress has overridden about 7% of presidential vetoes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Framers of the Constitution gave the President the power to veto acts of Congress to prevent the legislative branch from becoming too powerful. This is an illustration of the separation of powers integral to the U.S. Constitution.
