The Legal Institutional Validity of The American Presidential Veto Powers : Legislative Function and its Utility

Abstract

My previous articles have paid a great deal of attention to the legislative presidency, especially the presidential veto powers in the congressional process. This legal institution (U.S. Const. Art. 1, §7, cls. 2, 3. =Veto system) is frequently as a dominant characteristic of American government. The presidential veto powers constitute the sole instrument against the legislative process for the President's legislative power. This work discusses one of the principal formal links between the President and Congress. The veto powers is often maintained to be of crucial importance to the President in his effort to influence Congress.
