Question

Approximately ________ percent of the ________ bills introduced in a typical congressional session die in committee. a. 50; 1,000 b. 50; 10,000 c. 85; 1,000 d. 85; 10,000

Answer 1

D. 85; 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In American government for a bill to pass, at least two-third vote or more is needed in both the House and the Senate to override the President's veto. If two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote successfully to override the veto, the bill becomes a law. However, if the House and Senate do not override the veto, the bill "dies" and does not become a law.

According to www.ushistory.org "Since the volume of bills is so large, most bills today are sent directly to subcommittee. Most bills — about 90% — die in committee or subcommittee."
