Explain what happens when a bill is vetoed. (1 point)

Question

• When a bill is vetoed, it moves from committee review to chamber review.
• When a bill is vetoed, the president rejects the bill.
• When a bill is vetoed, Congress rejects the bill.
When a bill is vetoed, a committee member rejects the bill.

Answer 1

When a bill is vetoed, the president rejects the bill. This means that the bill does not become law, and the president typically provides reasons for the veto to Congress. Congress can then attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers to pass the bill despite the president's rejection. If they are unable to achieve this majority, the bill does not advance and is effectively discarded.
