These are all fine uses of the word.

However, when you use the word "veto" in the context of the President, it implies a certain set of actions that have taken place. It actually encourages people to think those events took place, when reading the letter makes it obvious that they didn't.

This is all moot now, since they changed the headline from "Obama vetoes..." to "Obama Administration vetoes...".
