What can happen if the president chooses to veto a law that has been passed?

If the president chooses to veto a law that has been passed, The president's decision can be overridden by a majority of Congress.

A veto is the power used by an officer of the state, for example, to stop an official action unilaterally, especially the legislation enactment .

Override of a veto is the process by which each chamber of Congress votes on a bill vetoed by the President. To pass a bill over the president's objections, it requires a two-thirds vote in each Chamber. It means If the US President vetoes a bill already passed by Congress, then Congress has a chance to override this veto with a 2/3rds vote of both houses. Historically, Congress has overridden fewer than ten percent of all presidential vetoes. Congress checks on the power of the presidency by overriding a presidential reversal or veto. If a president refuses to sign a bill into law, the congress men can still manage to pass that bill into law, if 2/3 of them can vote in favor of the bill. That is, to pass a bill into law despite the president's objection, then it requires a two-third vote from each of the chamber. 

According to article I, section 7 of the Constitution grants the President the authority to veto legislation passed by Congress
