NO FROM THE WHITE HOUSE' The term 'NO FROM THE WHITE HOUSE' can be summarized by the four letter word 'VETO'. A VETO is a power granted to the President of the United States to reject a bill passed by Congress. This power is outlined in Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution. When the President exercises this power, it is known as a Presidential VETO. The President's VETO can be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
