Answer:

B. veto laws that he did not personally like

Explanation:

The power of veto is a power created by the checks and balances system which gives each branch of the government typical and atypical powers. The power of veto is an atypical power of the Executive Branch as a way to limit the power of the Legislative Branch.

President Andrew Jackson was the fourth president to use the veto power but he was the first one to announce that he used this power based on political reasons rather than constitutional grounds.

This happened because the US Constitution does not specify grounds on which a president can exercise the veto power.
