I need help with these two questions, (it's talking about South Carolina)

1. A two-thirds vote of both houses will pass a bill over the governors veto.
true or false

2. If the house makes changes, the bill goes back to the original house for a vote.
true or false

What does your text say? What does the South Carolina constitution say?

To find the answers to these two questions, we need to refer to the legislative process of South Carolina. Let's go step by step.

1. A two-thirds vote of both houses will pass a bill over the governor's veto.
To determine if this statement is true or false, we need to understand the veto override process in South Carolina. In South Carolina, the Legislature consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. To pass a bill into law, it initially requires a simple majority vote in both houses (more than 50% in each house).

However, if the governor decides to veto the bill, the Legislature can attempt to override the veto. To override a veto, both houses need to vote in favor of the bill with a two-thirds majority. This means that at least two-thirds of the members in both the House of Representatives and the Senate need to vote in favor of overriding the governor's veto.

Therefore, the statement is true. A two-thirds vote of both houses is necessary to pass a bill over the governor's veto in South Carolina.

2. If the House makes changes, the bill goes back to the original house for a vote.
To determine if this statement is true or false, let's consider the legislative process in South Carolina. In general, bills typically need to pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate before they become law. However, during this process, each house can propose changes, amendments, or modifications to the bill.

If one house introduces changes to the bill proposed by the other house, the amended bill typically goes back to the original house for a vote on whether to accept the changes. This gives each house an opportunity to review and consider the proposed changes.

Therefore, the statement is true. If the House of Representatives makes changes to a bill, it will typically go back to the House of Representatives for a vote on acceptance of the changes in South Carolina.
