The president’s ability to veto a bill: A. Means that a bill must go back to the House but not the Senate
B. Is a holdover from the Articles of Confederation
C. Means that the executive branch is more powerful than the legislative branch
D. Is a check on Congress
The correct answer is D. Is a check on Congress.
Explanation: The president’s veto power serves as a check on the legislative branch (Congress) by allowing the president to reject legislation they believe is not in the best interest of the country. This system of checks and balances is fundamental to the U.S. government, ensuring that no single branch becomes too powerful.
