Question

After a state legislature approves a budget, what power do many governors have over the budget?

The governor can send it back to committee.
The governor can require 2/3 approval.
The governor can veto specific lines.
The governor can propose a new budget.

Answer 1

Answer: The governor can veto specific lines.

Explanation: Each state government is modeled after the U.S. federal government, meaning that many checks and balances are similar. For instance, in this situation, the executive branch has the power to veto and the lower house of the legislative has control of budgets.
