What is the fraction of congress that has to pass a bill if the president rejects it?
if the president vetos (or refuses to sign a bill) 2/3 of the senate can over ride it.
Can a bill be voted in if the president vetos it?
Yes it will go back to congress though. A president can not veto it again if it gets back to him.
Who vetos the president?
No one can "veto" the President, but the Congress can "over-ride' his veto by a 2/3 vote to pass a bill he vetoed.
What happen if both houses of congress pass a bill and the president does nothing and congress is at recess?
In that situation the bill is considered vetoed and is of no effect. This is called the President's "pocket veto." For a bill to become law the President must do two things. He must sign it and return it to Congress within 10 days of passage. A bill, whether signed by the President or not, cannot be returned to Congress if it is in recess. If Congress recesses before the President signs and returns the bill it cannot be returned; therefore the two requirements for a bill to become law cannot be met. When this happens, if Congress wants the bill passed, Congress will introduce another version of the bill, pass it and send it to the President who would then have to formally veto it or sign and return it.
Whenever the other house of Congress significantly alters a bill a(n) committee must be formed to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.?
the president vetos the bill.
Are there any differences in the effects of the presidential and pocket veto?
Yes! A presidential veto is when a bill is proposed to the president who then vetos the bill. This will be sent back to Congress and may be overriden by a 2/3 majority. However A pocket veto is when the president ignores a proposed bill and Congress adjourns. In this case, the bill dies.
How can congress check the president power?
if he vetos a bill they can over vote him and pass it. But if he lets it sit for 10 days it will die.
How is a bill made?
A bill starts off as an idea, which can come from anyone. Then it gets shipped off to Congress where they vote on it. If the Senate and House Of Representatives votes yes to the bill it is sent to the president for him to sign. If the president rejects the bill, or vetos it, the bill can go back to Congress and if two-thirds vote yes to the bill it can become a law without the presidents approval.
How does the supreme court override the veto by president?
A president can veto a bill that the congress passes and sends to him for his signature and he can refuse to sign it (vetoing it). But the president cannot override vetos. The congress can override president's veto by a 2/3 vote.
Where is the bill sent if it is approved after the third reading?
the president of the senate
If the President wants to avoid media attention for signing a veto of a law drafted by Congress and the Congressional session ends the day after the bill is delivered to him what is used?
You're talking about a 'pocket veto'. To clarify: when a president vetos a bill, he refuses to sign it. He doesn't 'sign' a veto. He sends the unsigned bill back to congress with recommendations.
Who vetos bills?
The president has the power to veto bills.
