Question

Which of the following could be TRUE?

A.Senate committee vetoes only certain parts of a bill regulating wolf poaching.
B.House committee decides to veto a bill regulating cigarette labels in Montana.
C.Senate committee recommends amendments to a Nevada immigration bill before returning to the Senate for a vote.
D.House committee recommends amendments for the governor of New Mexico to make before signing a bill permitting wild game hunting.

Answer 1

Option C is correct because a Senate committee recommending amendments to a bill before voting occurs is part of the standard legislative process, contrary to the other options which describe powers committees do not possess.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C. Senate committee recommends amendments to a Nevada immigration bill before returning to the Senate for a vote. This is a standard part of the legislative process, wherein a committee examines a bill, proposes amendments, and then sends the revised version back to the full chamber for consideration. Options A, B, and D contain inaccuracies because committees do not have the power to veto legislation; that power lies with the governor or the president. Furthermore, it is not typical for committees to direct governors to amend legislation; their role is to make recommendations before the bill reaches the governor's desk.
