When a bill is vetoed, it means that the president of the United States refuses to sign it into law. Once the bill has been passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it is sent to the president for approval. If the president disagrees with the bill or has objections to its content, they have the power to veto it.
When a bill is vetoed, it does not become law. Instead, it goes back to the chamber where it originated, whether the House of Representatives or the Senate, for further consideration. The chamber can choose to either accept the veto and abandon the bill or try to override the veto.
In order to override a veto, both the House and the Senate need to vote with a two-thirds majority in favor of the bill. If the veto is successfully overridden, the bill becomes law without the president's signature. However, if the override attempt fails or is not even attempted, the bill is effectively dead and cannot become law in its current form.
It's important to note that a committee member does not have the power to veto a bill. The veto authority solely rests with the president. A committee member's role in relation to a bill is to review and consider it before it moves to the full chamber for debate and voting.
When a bill is vetoed, it means that the President of the United States rejects the bill. The process works as follows:
1. The bill is passed by both houses of Congress: In order for a bill to become a law, it must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
2. The bill goes to the President: Once the bill is passed by Congress, it is sent to the President for consideration.
3. The President has three options: The President can either sign the bill into law, allow it to become law without his/her signature, or veto the bill.
4. Presidential veto: If the President decides to veto the bill, he/she sends it back to the originating house of Congress with a "veto message" explaining the reasons for the veto.
5. Congressional review: Once the bill is vetoed, it goes back to the house where it originated (either the House of Representatives or the Senate). At this point, the members of Congress can choose to either accept the veto or attempt to override it.
6. Override attempt: If Congress decides to challenge the President's veto, they can attempt to override it by voting on the bill again. In order to override a veto, a two-thirds majority vote is required in both the House and the Senate.
7. If the veto is overridden: If Congress successfully overrides the veto, the bill becomes law without the President's approval. However, if the veto is sustained, the bill does not become law and the process ends.
It's important to note that there is also a "pocket veto" option available to the President. If the President does not sign a bill within ten days (excluding Sundays), and Congress adjourns during this time, the bill is automatically vetoed. However, if Congress remains in session, the bill becomes law without the President's signature.
When a bill is vetoed, it means that the president (or in some cases, a governor at the state level) has chosen to reject the bill and prevent it from becoming a law. The veto power is a valuable tool for the executive branch to maintain checks and balances in the legislative process.
Here's a step-by-step explanation of what happens when a bill is vetoed:
1. The bill goes through the standard legislative process, which includes being introduced, debated, and passed by both houses of Congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives). Once the bill has been approved by both houses, it is sent to the president for consideration.
2. The president reviews the bill and has two options: either sign it into law or veto it. If the president chooses to sign the bill, it becomes law. However, if the president decides to veto it, the bill is returned to Congress with a veto message, which outlines the reasons for the rejection.
3. At this point, Congress has the opportunity to override the veto if there is enough support. To override a veto, a two-thirds majority of both houses is required. This means that at least 67 Senators and 290 Representatives need to vote in favor of overriding the veto.
4. If the veto is successfully overridden, the bill becomes law without the president's approval. However, if Congress fails to gather the necessary support to override the veto, the bill is rejected and does not become law.
It's important to note that "committee review" and "chamber review" are part of the legislative process leading up to the bill's passage or rejection. They are not directly related to the act of vetoing itself. Additionally, committee members do not have the power to veto a bill; only the president does.
