In the context of the legislative process, when a bill is vetoed by the governor, one of the common steps that can follow is an attempt by the legislature to override that veto. To become law despite the veto, a bill typically requires a specific majority vote from both chambers of the legislature.
Given the options, the missing legislative step in the diagram where the bill passes from the governor's veto to becoming law would be:
**C. The House and Senate override the governor’s veto with a 2/3 vote.**
This is because many states require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate to successfully override a governor's veto.
