Context
The veto power is one of the key checks and balances in the Constitution, designed to prevent hasty or unwise legislation. The Framers gave the President this tool to ensure executive input on laws, while allowing Congress to override vetoes if there is sufficient support. Presidents have used the veto over 2,500 times throughout U.S. history, though most bills are never vetoed.
