Abstract
Students of American government have paid a great deal of attention to the Presidential power, especially in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relation between the congress and presidential veto power. The formal presidential veto power provides only the constitution of the United States of America(Article. 1, 7section(2), (3)). This is certainly true of one of the principal formal links between the presidential veto power and congress. The presidential veto power is frequently asserted to be of crucial importance to the presidential governability and leadership in legislative process in congress. The framers of the constitution intended the presidential veto power to be used as a defense against the encroachment of presidential powers by the congress. The crucial point of this paper was that the presidential veto power was a versatile weapon for the presidential leadership, policymaking and governability.
