What is veto power
Veto is a term used to express power over something and to forbid an action intended by a person who is in a position of governance or power. It is a term used in the United States to stop legislation or resolution made by the upper house and the lower house or the senate but it is only centered to two individuals, the governor and the President of the state (Bealey, 2001).

President and the governor Veto powers, procedures and overriding issues
A veto can be said to be absolute and can give power to both the president and the governor but a resolution made must be voted by two thirds of the senate and the house for it to be legislated and passed as a law. The president has the power to pass the legislation into law by signing it within ten days, Sunday excluded. Even though the President has the power to sign the bill, the congress must sit in a session to reconsider any objection made by the President. On the other hand, the governor have the power to veto appropriation of funds in the bill especially on the budget and can only be overruled by the legislature if they vote 23 of the members elected and serving in each house(Bealey, 2001).

Which chief executives vetoes have been overridden more frequently
Political scientist and analysts believe that the veto powers of the president and the governor are often overridden though not on equal grounds. According to Bealey (2001), Governor Veto powers are always prerogative and their actions are always overridden by legislators.

Conclusion
Despite the fact that the governor powers have been strengthen over time, it is worth noting that the President enjoys the veto power since the action taken cannot be overridden easily by both houses unless disapproved by the congress. According to Bealey (2001), he argued that in 1996, when the Congress approved a bill and later President Bill Clinton signed, the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, which allowed the president to veto each item in the budget instead of checking on the entire bill. An act by which the President might select or choose which parts of the bill to approve or not disapprove shows that the president can act as a legislator instead of an executive. The Court according to the constitution are expected present the bill to the president and the president can decide whether to approve the bill or rejected as a whole. This shows that the presidents powers cannot be overridden easily as compared to the governor. It is therefore true that the president has a stronger veto power as compared to the governor.
