How does the power of the veto reflect the system of checks and balances?

Answer:

The veto allows the President to “check” the legislature by reviewing acts passed by Congress and blocking measures he finds unconstitutional, unjust, or unwise. This forms a “balance” between the branches on the lawmaking power.

Note:

Congress has the power to override the President's veto.
