Summary:

Vetoes cast by the President represent a rejection of the will and intent of the majority in Congress. Presidential vetoes, and veto overrides, are often the reason for, or a reflection of, serious conflict between Congress and the President. This report describes the veto process and congressional process when encountering a veto.
