Question 44 of 128 · American Government · System of Government
Who vetoes bills?
On the 65/20 list: one of the 20 questions for applicants 65 or older with 20 years as permanent residents.
Accepted answer
- The President (of the United States)
Why this is the answer
A veto is the President's refusal to sign a bill that Congress has passed. A vetoed bill is one the President did not sign, and it does not become law. The check works in both directions, though: Congress can override the veto if two-thirds of both the House and the Senate vote for the bill again, and then it becomes law without the President's signature. Memory hook: the President can say no, and Congress can say yes twice.
