Question

Which of the following courses of action can Congress take if the Supreme Court declares a law to be unconstitutional?

A) Congress can rewrite the law in a manner that is no longer unconstitutional.
B) Congress can appeal the decision in a federal court.
C) Congress can get an executive order to make the law legal.
D) Congress can use its veto power to overrule the Supreme Court's decision.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country. If they declare a law to be unconstitutional, the law is void, and must either be rewritten or cancelled. The only way for Congress to make the declared law be constitutional "as written" is if they pass that law as a constitutional amendment. Then, they can tell the Supreme Court to interpret that.
