Question

In the senate, lawmakers have the power to use their debate time in order to?

A) create a committee
B) stop congress from getting to vote on a bill
C) require a referendum to approve a bill
D) force the president to sign or veto a bill

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is B.

Explanation: Members of the senate can use their debate time to stall to ensure that congress can not vote on a bill. This is called filibustering, and some people consider it to be absurd because people delay laws even when people just threaten to filibuster.
