by using the veto is one way that the president can limit the legislative powers of Congress. The veto allows the President to reject a bill passed by Congress, preventing it from becoming law unless Congress can override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Additionally, by working with members of their political party, the President can influence the appointment of congressional committee chairs and use the power of the executive branch to administer the laws and control the level of funding appropriated by Congress.
