In order for a constitutional amendment to be passed, it needs to be approved by two-thirds (66.67) of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Congress.
The branch of government that can veto bills is the executive branch, typically represented by the President. Once a bill is passed by the legislative branch (Congress), the President has the option to approve the bill by signing it into law or reject it by vetoing it.
for a law to become legal, it must be signed by the president.... a bill is a proposed law submitted for approval by the president by both houses of congress (senate and the house of representatives)... a veto is the presidential prerogative not to approve the law if he is contrary to it. if that is the case, it is then returned back to the congress for more deliberations and re-submitted to the president for approval. if he vetoes it again, i think congress can pass the law by two-thirds majority... if the bill becomes a law and it turned out to be disadvantageous to the people, it is congress who gets blamed and not the president for letting it become a law...
The legislature is responsible for making laws, approving budgets, and overseeing the executive branch. It also has the power to represent the interests of the public, investigate issues through committees, and hold the government accountable. Additionally, the legislature plays a crucial role in shaping public policy and promoting good governance.
A bill starts in the legislative process when a member of Congress introduces it by submitting it to either the House of Representatives or the Senate. The bill is then assigned to a committee for review and possible amendments before being debated and voted on by the full chamber. If the bill passes in one chamber, it moves to the other chamber for a similar process. If both chambers approve the bill, it is sent to the President for approval or veto.
In the United States government, a senator and a congressman have different roles and powers. Senators are part of the Senate, which is one of the two chambers of Congress, while congressmen are members of the House of Representatives. Both senators and congressmen have important roles in the legislative process, but senators typically have more individual power and influence due to their smaller numbers and longer terms. Senators also have the authority to approve or reject presidential appointments and treaties, which gives them significant influence in shaping national policy.
