Who has the power to veto legislation in the United States?

President.
Supreme Court.
Congress.
State governors.

The correct answer is: President.

The President of the United States has the power to veto legislation. This means that the President can reject a bill passed by Congress and prevent it from becoming a law. This is an important part of the system of checks and balances in the US government. The Supreme Court does not have veto power and can only review laws for their constitutionality. Congress also does not have veto power, although they can override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority vote. State governors only have veto power within their own state.
