| Well, no not quite.If the president opposes the bill he can veto it; or if he takes no action after the Congress has adjourned its second session, it is a "pocket veto" and the legislation dies. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| And then we are done? It really is just that simple? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|

| | |
| This can be unlikely, but if the president takes no action for 10 days it becomes a law. Or we can over ride the veto. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| What happens if the president takes no action? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Congress may attempt to "override the veto." If both the Senate and the House pass the bill by a two-thirds majority, the president's veto is overruled and the bill becomes a law. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| How do we over ride the veto? | |
