Answer: (C)congress has the power to propose laws, but the president must approve them in most cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S. Congress has two legislative bodies: the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. Any person elected to either body is allowed to propose a new law.

Once both bodies accept a bill, they present it to the president, who then considers the bill and is able to approve it and sign it into law or veto it.

If the president decides to veto a bill, the Congress can choose to override that veto and the bill converts into a law. But, if the president pocket vetoes the bill after Congress has adjourned, the veto cannot be revoked.
