When a president lets a session with congress expire without signing a bill is called what?
pocket veto
Can the president veto legislation passed by both houses of congress?
Bills can't be passed without the president's involvement on some level. The president signs it, or vetoes it. If Congress over-rides the veto, the bill becomes law no matter what the president does. In that case the president cannot exercize another veto.
What branch created and passed legislation?
Congress passes all "bills" in which the bills then go to the president to be signed by him. The bills that get singed are now laws. The president can however do legislation without the legislative branch by passing "executive orders".
Why would congress veto the president's veto?
Your terminology is not quite correct. Congress does not veto a veto, it overrides a veto. And the reason for doing so would be that the members of Congress are determined to have their way. If they can muster enough votes, they have the power to put through their legislation, with or without the approval of the President.
How does Congress control the President's foreign policy by checks and balances?
The President cannot unilaterally declare war without the consent of Congress. The President has to present evidence to Congress that a war would be necessary and legal. Thus Congress acts to check the President's power.
What does a president do when it comes to vetos?
The president can either veto or not veto a bill that is presented to him.Another View: Actually the President has THREE options. He has 10 days in which to consider legislation. He can sign it, veto it, or do nothing.If he signs it, it becomes law.If he formally vetoes it, it goes back to Congress, which can attempt to override the vetoIf he keeps the bill for 10 days without signing it, it becomes law without his signature except that if Congress has adjourned in that period, and bill return is not possible (Congress normally designates agents to receive veto and other messages, making bill return possible when Congress is not in session, except at the end of a two-year congress), he can just put it "in his pocket" and therefore veto the bill. This method of killing legislation is called the pocket veto, and became an issue because no definition of "adjournment" was placed in the Constitution.
Describe the process of a presidential veto and how it can be over turn?
f the President approves of the legislation, he signs it (sign into law). If he does not approve, he must return the bill, unsigned, within ten days, excluding Sundays, to the house of the United States Congress in which it originated, while the Congress is in session. The President is constitutionally required to state his objections to the legislation in writing, and the Congress is constitutionally required to consider them, and to reconsider the legislation. This action, in effect, is a veto. If the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds majority in each house, it becomes law without the President's signature. Otherwise, the bill fails to become law unless it is presented to the President again and he chooses to sign it.
What happens if the president holds onto a bill for more than 10 days without signing it?
It is called a pocket veto. Therefore unless Congress overrides it the veto stands.
Can the president pass a law without the congressional approval?
No, the president cannot pass a law without congressional approval. In the United States, legislation must be proposed and passed by both chambers of Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate—before it can be signed into law by the president. However, the president can issue executive orders to direct the operations of the federal government, but these do not have the same legal standing as laws passed by Congress.
Show an example of checks and balances in the US Government?
The President of the US may request legislation. If they wish, Congress writes the legislation, discusses the proposed legislation and finally votes for, or against, the legislation. If the Congress disagrees with the President's request they don't do anything, end of subject. That is a check. If they write it, discuss it and approve it, then it is sent to the President for his approval. He can approve the legislation (balance) or veto the legislation (check). Congress can initiate legislation without the request of the President. If after congress passes the legislation the President approves the legislation that's a balance (both Congress and the President agree). However, if the President vetoes the legislation it is returned to the Congress. If 2/3 of the Senators in the Senate vote affirmative on the legislation they can over ride the Presidential veto (check). Now suppose legislation is passed by Congress and signed into law by the President AND SOMEBODY DISAGREES WITH THE NEW LAW. Then that person/group can challenge that law on a constitutional basis in Federal Court. At any point in the legal challenge a Federal Court may over turn the law. There are three different types of Federal Courts. Ranked by authority, from low to high, they are District Courts, Courts of Appeal, and finally the Supreme Court of the US. Each step up the ladder of courts is another check on the court below. The review of the legislation can stop at any point that the challenger decides to quit and that ends the review. If the legislation is overturned by the Federal Court system then the legislative branch has three choices: they can do nothing and the issue dies; they can attempt to rewrite the legislation in a manner that avoids the conflict with the Constitution; ultimately, they can attempt to amend the Constitution so that the Courts can have no objection. In the case of any action taken by one of the branches of government there is a way to stop, or review, the action by another branch of government. I'm sure I've missed some possibilities, but that should give you and idea of how checks and balances work in the US government.
If passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in identical form Where does a bill go?
A passed bill goes to the President for his signature. If the President vetoes the bill, he sends it back to the Congress for consideration. The Congress can then change the legislation or vote to override the veto, which would require a two-thirds majority vote in each house. If Congress votes to override, the bill would then become law with or without the President's signature.
How the president is involved with the process of how a bill becomes of law?
THe President can make a bill that has passed Congress into a law by signing it. It also becomes law in 10 days if he does not sign it, unless Congress adjourns in less than 10 days after giving him the bill.
