Final answer:

The false statement is that Congress often includes provisions the president wants in a bill to make a veto less likely. Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement in the given options is option D) Congress often places provisions the president wants into a bill the president slides to make a veto less likely.



While Congress may occasionally include provisions that the president wants in a bill to make a veto less likely, it is not a common practice. More often, the president and Congress may negotiate or compromise on a bill before it reaches the president's desk. This negotiation is done to address concerns and reach a consensus rather than intentionally including provisions the president wants to prevent a veto.



For example, if the president threatens to veto a bill, Congress may revise the bill to address the president's concerns and increase the likelihood of it being signed into law. This negotiation process is not driven by intentionally including provisions the president wants, but rather by finding common ground to pass legislation.
