Question 1 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY

What can happen if the president chooses to veto a law that has been approved?

Answer
A
The president’s decision is scheduled for review within a year.
B
The law returns to being introduced in the House or the Senate.
C
The veto can be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses.
D
The law is rejected and cannot be reconsidered, it is effectively dropped.

Explanation

When the president vetoes a bill, Congress can still make it law by overriding the veto. This requires a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, so the correct choice is “The veto can be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses.”
