Answer:

d. The bill has a low chance for approval.

Step-by-step explanation:

American democracy is based on the independence of the powers, but for a government to succeed, the president must be able to form a majority support base in parliament. Thus, the president will be able to send bills to the congress and discuss with his support base, which will vote to approve the bill. However, if Congress has a majority from another party, or disagrees with the bill, the chances of passing the bill are considerably reduced.

A recent example is the construction of the Mexican border wall proposed by Republican President D.Trump. He does not have a majority in the House of Representatives, only in the Senate. This made it difficult for this project to evolve, as the Democrats do not support the construction of the wall and the project has little chance of approval.
