Question

How does a presidential veto affect a bill passed by Congress?

Responses

A It changes a bill passed by Congress to suit the president, who will send it back to Congress to pass or reject with a simple majority vote.

B It delays a bill passed by Congress from becoming law for one full year, after which the president must sign the bill into law.

C It passes a bill approved by Congress and becomes law as soon as the Supreme Court rules it to be constitutional.

D It kills a bill passed by Congress unless Congress votes to override the veto with a two-thirds majority in each house.

Answer 1

If the President vetoes the bill it is sent back to Congress with a note listing his/her reasons. The chamber that originated the legislation can attempt to override the veto by a vote of two-thirds of those present. If the veto of the bill is overridden in both chambers then it becomes law.
