A veto â Latin for I forbid â is the power to unilaterally stop an official action, especially the enactment of legislation. A veto can be absolute, as for instance in the United Nations Security Council, whose permanent members can block any resolution.
Vetoes have a long history, beginning in ancient Rome where consuls could veto one another's actions and a tribune could veto an act of the Roman senate. Many countries and all U.S. states have a version of the veto as well. The line-item veto allows a head of state to veto specific appropriations within a larger bill. In 1996, President Clinton signed a line-item veto bill into law, giving the next president the right to make such vetoes. Several members of Congress immediately challenged it, and it was overturned by the Supreme Court in 1998 as unconstitutional.
