Question 8

When a president vetoes a bill, what congressional vote is necessary to override the veto?

Accepted Answer

According to the United States Constitution, a vetoed bill can only be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This means that at least two-thirds of the members in each chamber would need to vote in favor of the bill in order for it to become law despite the president's veto.

Question 9

What happens if the president does not sign a bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress?

Accepted Answer

If the president does not sign a bill within 10 days (excluding Sundays) and Congress is in session, it becomes law without the president's signature. However, if Congress adjourns during this period, the bill does not become law, which is known as a "pocket veto."

Hobbes believed that law is the command of the sovereign.

Accepted Answer

This is a central tenet of Hobbes' political philosophy, where the sovereign is seen as the ultimate authority in a society and their commands are necessary to maintain order and prevent chaos.

Question 12

What happens once the full House and Senate have each passed a version of a bill?

Accepted Answer

Once the full House and Senate have each passed a version of a bill, both versions are sent to a Senate-House Conference Committee for reconciliation. The committee works to resolve any differences between the House and Senate versions and create a single, unified version of the bill. This version is then returned to the full House and Senate for a final vote. Once both chambers have approved the final version, it will then go to the president for his signature or veto.

Question 13

Which of the following accurately illustrates the chronological process of a bill becoming a law?

Accepted Answer

The process of a bill becoming a law typically involves referral to a subcommittee, approval by both the subcommittee and larger committee, affirmative vote by both houses of Congress, and then the president's signature. Option B accurately represents this chronological process. Option A is not in the correct order, and option C has the president's signature in the wrong place. Option D is close, but the Senate-House Conference Committee typically comes after the passage of the bill by both houses, not before.

A pocket veto occurs when the president takes no action within 10 days of receiving a bill from Congress and Congress adjourns within those 10 days. The bill is essentially vetoed without the president having to take any explicit action, as he or she has no opportunity to sign or veto the bill when Congress is not in session.

Question 19

Case law results from judicial of constitutions and statutes.

Accepted Answer

Case law arises from judicial interpretation of constitutions and statutes. The other options - nullification, execution, and enforcement - do not accurately describe the creation of case law.

Question 20

The feminist school bases legal precedent only on cases involving plaintiffs and defendants who were female.
