b.send the bill back to Congress
c.override the bill
c.veto the bill
d.take no action on the bill

Answer 1

The president can sign the bill into law, veto the bill, or take no action, which may result in the bill becoming law by default or being pocket vetoed, depending on whether Congress is in session.

Step-by-step explanation:

Once a bill is approved by Congress, the president can take several actions. Firstly, the president can sign the bill into law, which is the most common outcome when the president agrees with the legislation. Secondly, if the president disagrees with the bill, they have the power to veto the bill, sending it back to Congress with reasons for the veto. Lastly, the president can take no action on the bill. If the president takes no action and Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law after 10 days (excluding Sundays). However, if Congress adjourns during that 10-day period and the president has not signed the bill, it does not become law, which is known as a pocket veto.
