To find out how long the Georgia Governor has to take action on a bill, we can refer to the Georgia Constitution and state laws. In this case, the correct answer is C) 40 days.
The Georgia Constitution specifies that the Governor has up to 40 days to take action on a bill from the date it is presented to them. However, there are two important points to note:
1. If the Governor receives a bill within the last five days of a legislative session, they have 6 days (excluding Sundays) from the adjournment of the session to take action on the bill.
2. If the General Assembly adjourns to a date more than 40 days after the Governor receives the bill, they have until the day of reconvening to take action.
It's always important to consult official sources such as the Georgia Constitution or the Georgia state laws for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
