You are clearly not well informed. Are you not American?

Presidents don't make legislation. They don't introduce bills and except in unusual circumstances are expected to sign them. They can't modify them.

Secondly, your claims that there is a bill that subsidizes the coal industry is without a source. Please provide a reference to this bill as "climate change bill" is to vague for me to know which you mean.

Thirdly, your claim that the CHIPs Act has no oversight is incorrect. Here's a helpful quote from a helpful FAQ provided by the Congressional Research Service:

Congress may wish to exercise its oversight authority with respect to implementation of the programs and policies in the act and their effectiveness in addressing U.S. economic and national security concerns. Among other potential oversight issues: the allocation of incentive funding among various types of chip manufacturing (e.g., logic chips and memory chips, mature chips and leading-edge chips); the adequacy of funding to meet the act’s objectives; and the effectiveness of guardrails established in the act to prevent the use of incentive funding from enabling further investments in countries of concern or from being used for stock buybacks or dividends.

My suggestion, for future reference, is that if you are going to make claims you source them. They will be much more forceful and factual and you won't sound like you have vague feelings about something.

The president does have the ability to block legislation, it's why you often hear it referred to the president signing various items into law.

What are you? 12?

Presidential vetos come at a cost and can be over-ridden by congress.
