Question 18 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New

What is one way this bill could still become a law?

Answer
A
Each house of Congress can pass the bill with a two-thirds majority.
B
The president can make any changes they want and then sign the bill into law.
C
The bill can be passed by a majority vote in both houses of Congress.
D
The Speaker of the House may sign the bill in the president’s place.

Explanation

If the president vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto if two-thirds of the members in each house vote to pass it. The bill then becomes law without the president’s signature, so the correct choice is “Each house of Congress can pass the bill with a two-thirds majority.” A simple majority is not enough to override a veto, and the Speaker cannot sign in the president’s place.
