Question

What happens when both the House and the Senate have approved a bill?

The bill is written and made into law.
The bill moves to the president for signature.
The bill is placed on a ballot for a public vote.
The bill is reviewed by the vice president.

Answer 1

When both the House and the Senate have approved a bill, the bill moves to the president for signature. If the president signs the bill, it becomes law. However, if the president vetoes the bill, it can still become law if two-thirds of the House and the Senate vote to override the veto. Therefore, the correct answer is "The bill moves to the president for signature."

Answer 2

The correct answer is the bill moves to the president for signature.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a bill is approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it is sent to the president for signature. The president can then choose to sign the bill into law, veto it, or let it pass without his signature. If the president signs the bill, it becomes a law; if he vetoes it, it goes back to Congress for further action; and if he lets it pass without a signature, it becomes law after ten days (unless Congress is no longer in session, in which case the bill is effectively vetoed). The vice president typically does not play a role in the congressional legislative process, apart from casting tiebreaking votes in the U.S. Senate.
