Question

This questions hard to copy and paste so i'll do it myself. Ok, if a bill were to go to the president and it got vetoed, what would happen next? I know it would go back to congress, but would it be debated by the house, or the senate, or both?

Answer 1

A bill becomes law if signed by the President or if not signed within 10 days and Congress is in session. If Congress adjourns before the 10 days and the President has not signed the bill then it does not become law ("Pocket Veto.") If the President vetoes the bill it is sent back to Congress with a note listing his/her reasons. The chamber that originated the legislation can attempt to override the veto by a vote of two-thirds of those present. If the veto of the bill is overridden in both chambers then it becomes law.

Answer 2

So you are saying it is debated by both the house and the senate together?

Answer 3

or voted on the house and senate I should say, do thay vote all together or is there only a house vote or only a senate vote.

Answer 4

It is debated first at where the bill originated, and then at the second place later.

Answer 5

If the bill passes where it originated, it moves onto the second place to be voted on.

Answer 6

If it passes the second place, as well as the first place, it becomes a law.
