1. The president can sign the bill and it would become a law.
2. The president can not sign it, veto, and send it back to the U.S. House of Representatives with a list of reasons telling why it was vetoed. If 2/3 of Representatives and Senate vote that it should become a law then they can override the veto.
3. The president can do nothing, it is called a pocket veto, because if congress is in session than it becomes a law, after 10 days, and if congress is not in session than it doesn't become a law.]]> 2019-03-09 14:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/s28315067/75sc3aj9h2y6/wish/339559663 Conclusion s28315067 https://padlet.com/s28315067/75sc3aj9h2y6/wish/339563320 After a bill is proceeded by U.S House of Representatives and Senate, the president approves the bill or has an overridden veto then the bill becomes a law.Ā ]]> 2019-03-09 14:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/s28315067/75sc3aj9h2y6/wish/339563320 s28315067 https://padlet.com/s28315067/75sc3aj9h2y6/wish/339570084 2019-03-09 15:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s28315067/75sc3aj9h2y6/wish/339570084
