What four actions can the president makes when he receives a bill?

Answer 1

1. Sign the bill, making it law.

2. Veto it, and the measure must then be returned to Congress. However, Congress can override the presidential veto by a two-thirds vote in each of its two chambers.

3. The President may allow the bill to become law by not acting on it, neither signing nor vetoing it, within 10 days (not counting Sundays).

4. Pocket veto, which can only be used at the end of a congressional session. If Congress adjourns within 10 days of sending a bill to the President and the chief executive does not act on it, the measure dies.

Answer 2

A President can sign a bill or veto it. He can veto the whole bill or do an amendatory veto, where he only vetos certain parts of the bill that he disagrees with and the bill would be sent back to Congress. He can also not sign the bill, and after ten days the bill will become law without the president's signature. this is called a pocket veto.

Answer 3

If Congress passed a bill, the president :

1. can sign the bill making it an official law.
2. He can veto (refuse to sign it) and send it back to congress with his objections
3. He can do nothing. In this case, the bill becomes law without his signature unless Congress adjourns before he has had ten days to study the bill. If he has not had the required ten days before Congress adjourns, the bill dies (called a pocket veto).

Answer 4

He can sign the bill into law, he can veto (reject it, sending it back to Congress) or do nothing with it. If it is vetoed, there is a chance that the Congress could overide his veto (if enough of them support the law) However, if he does nothing with it (known as a pocket veto) it can be held up until it is too late in the legislative session for them to try to override a veto.

Answer 5
