* {{flag|Brazil}}: The [[President of Brazil|President of the Republic]] is entitled to veto, entirely or partially, any bill which passes both houses of the [[National Congress of Brazil|National Congress]], exceptions made to [[Constitution of Brazil|constitutional amendments]] and congressional decrees. The partial veto can involve the entirety of paragraphs, articles or items, not being allowed to veto isolated words or sentences. National Congress has the right to override the presidential veto if the majority of members from each of both houses agree to, that is, 257 [[Chamber of Deputies of Brazil|deputies]] and 41 [[Federal Senate of Brazil|senators]]. If these numbers are not met, the presidential veto stands.<ref>[https://www.congressonacional.leg.br/materias/vetos/entenda-a-tramitacao-do-veto "Entenda a tramitação do veto"] [Understand the processing of a veto].

* {{flag|Canada}}: The [[King-in-Council]] (in practice the [[Cabinet of the United Kingdom]]) might instruct the [[Governor General of Canada|governor general]] to withhold the king's assent, allowing the sovereign two years to disallow the bill, thereby vetoing it.<ref>{{Cite constitution | polity = Canada | date = 1867 | article = 53}}</ref> Last used in 1873, the power was effectively nullified diplomatically and politically by the [[Balfour Declaration of 1926]], and legally by the [[Statute of Westminster 1931]]. At the province level, [[lieutenant governor (Canada)|lieutenant governors]] can reserve royal assent to provincial bills for consideration by the [[Cabinet of Canada|federal cabinet]]. This clause was last invoked in 1961 by the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan.<ref>Jackson, Michael.

*{{flag|Dominican Republic}}: The [[President of the Dominican Republic|president]] has only a package veto ({{lang|es|observación a la ley}}), which must be exercised within 10 days after the legislation is passed.<ref name="dr-102">{{cite constitution | article = 102 | polity = the Dominican Republic | date = 2015}}</ref> The veto must include a rationale.<ref name="dr-102"/> If both chambers of the [[Congress of the Dominican Republic]] vote to override the veto, the bill becomes law.<ref name="dr-102"/>{{further|Government of the Dominican Republic}}
*{{flag|Ecuador}}: The [[president of Ecuador|president]] has powers of package veto and amendatory veto ({{lang|es|veto parcial}}).{{sfn|Tsebelis|Alemán|2005|p=406}} The president must issue a veto within 10 days after the bill is passed. The [[National Assembly (Ecuador)|National Assembly]] can override an amendatory veto by a two-thirds majority of all members, but if it does not do so within 30 days of the veto, the legislation becomes law with the president's amendments.{{sfn|Tsebelis|Alemán|2005|p=406}}<ref>{{Cite journal

*{{flag|El Salvador}}: The [[president of El Salvador|president]] has both package veto and amendatory veto powers, which must be exercised within eight days of the legislation being passed by the [[Legislative Assembly of El Salvador|Legislative Assembly]].{{sfn|Tsebelis|Alemán|2005|p=405}} If the Legislative Assembly does not vote on an amendatory veto, the legislation fails. The Legislative Assembly can either accept or override an amendatory veto by a simple majority.

* {{flag|United States}}: At the federal level, the [[President of the United States|president]] may veto bills passed by Congress, and Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds vote of each chamber.<ref>{{Cite constitution | polity = the United States | date = 1789 | article = I | section = 7 }}</ref> A [[line-item veto]] was briefly enacted in the 1990s, but was declared an unconstitutional violation of the [[separation of powers]] by the Supreme Court.

}}</ref> Many state governors also have additional kinds of vetoes, such as amendatory, line-item, and reduction vetoes.<ref name="ncsl-executive"/> Gubernatorial veto powers vary in strength. The president and some state governors have a "[[pocket veto]]", in that they can delay signing a bill until after the legislature has adjourned, which effectively kills the bill without a formal veto and without the possibility of an override.{{sfn|Watson|1987|p=407}}<ref>{{Cite book
