Veto

Executive rejection of a legislative proposal or joint resolution submitted for legal approval. Should an executive reject a measure, it can attain legal status only if the House and Senate individually vote (by a two-thirds majority) to overturn the rejection. An alternative type of executive rejection – an indirect rejection – happens if the legislature has concluded its session and cannot reconvene, and the executive fails to approve the legislative proposal within the mandated ten-day timeframe (excluding Sundays).

Budget Resolution

 A legislative instrument (stipulated by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as revised) that establishes a congressional fiscal strategy, encompassing total budgetary levels, which can be applied during the subsequent deliberation of spending and revenue legislation. It takes the form of a concurrent resolution (e.g., an H.Con.Res or an S.Con. Res), not a mechanism for creating law; consequently, it is not presented to the chief executive.
