Question 3 • CA-Government Essentials (IS)

What is one way the government can check the president’s power?

Answer
A
Congress can override a presidential veto with a two-thirds vote.
B
The Senate can vote against a treaty with a simple majority vote.
C
The Supreme Court, not the president, has the power to declare war.
D
The Supreme Court can impeach the president and remove them from office.

Explanation

Congress can check the president by overriding a veto if two-thirds of both the House and the Senate vote to do so. This allows Congress to make a bill law even when the president rejects it. The Supreme Court does not declare war or impeach the president; Congress has the power to declare war, and the House impeaches the president.
