Answer 1

It can veto laws passed by the legislative branch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ability to veto a certain law is held by the President of United States (the president is part of the executive branch)

Whenever the legislative branch created a law that does not have at least 67% of the legislators, the president had the ability to veto it. When the law is vetoed, the law wouldn't be able to be enacted into law unless the legislators made some change/adjustment that the president asked for.
