The following statements illustrate how the three branches of the United States government works:

Congress makes laws, the President can veto them, and if brought before the Supreme Court, they decide its Constitutionality.
A series of checks and balances, thereby ensuring that no one branch gains too much power.
The President can offer up legislation, Congress can pass it, and the Supreme Court can determine whether it is Constitutional.

The Congress is the government's body that is in charge of passing the bills that will become laws. The President can send a bill to Congress to be debated upon and he can also veto bills that were approved by the Congress. If both houses of the Congress have 2/3 of votes, the President's veto can be override. But there is the "pocket veto" in which the President does not sign a bill sent from Congress and this veto cannot be overridden. The Supreme Court has the power to decide whether a bill or an action is Constitutional or not.
