Suppose a bill has passed both the House and the Senate. It goes to the President at the beginning of the annual session of Congress. The President doesn't sign it but holds it for more than 10 days. What happens to the bill?
A) It becomes law only if 2/3 of the House and Senate vote for it.
B) It has been vetoed.
C) It becomes law.
D) It cannot become law but it has not been vetoed.
Answer (3)
It's C ;
The correct option to the given question is option “C”. If a bill has been passed by both the House and the Senate and then sent to the President at the beginning of the annual session of Congress and the President sits over it for 10 days without signing then the bill becomes a law automatically. If the Congress gets adjourned for any reason before the 10 days, then the bill is not passed but it stands as vetoed. This is a complicated case depending on the situation.
If the President does not sign a bill and holds it for more than 10 days, the bill automatically becomes law, provided Congress is in session. This is true unless Congress adjourns during that period, which would result in a pocket veto. Thus, the answer is C: 'It becomes law.'
