Question

Which of the following is not true about the president's role as Legislative Leader?

a. He gives an annual State of the Union speech to Congress each year.
b. He can sign or veto bills passed by Congress.
c. He can tell Congress which bills they can or cannot pass.
d. He can recommend bills to Congress that he would like them to pass.

Answer 1

Option c, that the president can tell Congress which bills they can or cannot pass, is not true about the president's role as Legislative Leader. The president proposes legislation and has veto power but cannot control congressional bill passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question “Which of the following is not true about the president's role as Legislative Leader?” is option c: He can tell Congress which bills they can or cannot pass. As the Legislative Leader, the president has the power to propose legislation, use the annual State of the Union speech to outline his legislative agenda, sign or veto bills passed by Congress, and call special sessions of Congress. However, the president does not have the authority to dictate to Congress which bills they can or cannot pass; this power is solely within the legislative branch.
