What is the president's role in the legislative process?

Answer 1

can pass or veto bills which can be overriden, can make executive orders
After a bill has passed Congress it goes to the President of the United States for review. If the President agrees with the bill, he will sign it into law. If he does not he will veto it and send it back to Congress. Then Congress must have a vote to override the veto and get a 2/3 majority in both houses to override it.

There are two other options that the President has, If Congress is in session and the President takes no action within 10 days, the bill becomes law. If Congress adjourns before 10 days are up and the President takes no action, then the bill dies and Congress may not vote to override. This is called a pocket veto, and if Congress still wants to pass the legislation, they have to start the process all over again..

Answer 2

The president participates by using his veto power. The threat of a presidential veto discourages Congress from passing the bill. The president can also make executive orders.

Answer 3

The President is required to periodically give Congress a report on the State of the Union. He/She tells Congress what sort of legislation he/she would like them to work on during the session. (I don't think that Congress is legally bound to act on the President's requests, but I'm not certain.)

After Congress passes a bill, the President may sign it into law or veto it. However, if the bill has the support of at least two thirds of the House and Senate, the President's veto can be overridden.

Answer 4

He can veto bills and can issue an executive order.

Answer 5

The President of the US has no role in the Legislative Branch, he is the head of the Executive Branch.

Answer 6

The president does not get to introduce new legislation to the house or senate. He waits for a bill to pass through congress then he can veto it or sign it.
