What happens when a compromise bill has been negotiated?
the parties involved come to a bill that everyone agrees to (a compromise. ) In some government situations, the bill has been processed to a point that it cannot be vetoed.
What happens after the president signs a bill?
When the president signs the bill, it becomes law. If the president refuses, the bill is vetoed, but if a two thirds vote by Congress, it can still become law.
What is the power of a the Legislative branch of government to vote a bill into law even though it has been vetoed by the head of the Executive branch?
If the Legislative branch passes a bill, but it gets vetoed by the Executive branch, the Legislative can, with a 2/3 majority vote, override the veto and force it into law.
What happens to a bill if the president uses a pocket veto?
It is dead, just as if he had used the traditional veto. There is one major difference. A bill that is pocket vetoed does not automatically go back to Congress for consideration of an override of the veto. Such a bill must be re-introduced as a new bill at the start of the next Congressional session. Then it gets treated as a new bill, meaning it canbe passed by simple majority, sent to the president for approval and vetoed (or not) in the usual fashion. Then it goes back to Congress for consideration of an override of the veto.
Can a bill be passed if it is vetoed?
It has to be passed by both houses of Congress before it can be vetoed by the President. In most cases, Congress may then re-consider the bill and if it is then passed by a 2/3 vote in each house, it will become law.
