The president may disapprove a law passed by Congress through the exercise of the veto power. But Congress is given the opportunity to override that veto and put a bill into law with a two-thirds vote of approval.
Article 1, Section 7, Clause 3
Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.
