Explanation:

• Option A: Presidential pardon power (for impeachable offenses or others) is different from veto; veto is about bills, not pardoning. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The line - item veto (rejecting portions of a bill) was struck down as unconstitutional in the US, and the standard veto power is not line - item. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: The presidential veto power (in the US context) allows the president to reject an entire bill that has been passed by Congress. This is the core definition of the veto power.
• Option D: Executive agreements are about foreign relations and are not related to the veto power over congressional bills. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. It allows the president to reject an entire bill passed by Congress.
