What power allows the Executive branch to reject a law?

• A. Veto
• B. Override
• C. Rejection
• D. Suspension

Answer: (A)

The power to reject a proposed law is called a veto. After a bill clears both houses of Congress, the President can sign it into law or veto it, preventing its passage. If a veto happens, the bill goes back to Congress, and only if both houses approve again by a two-thirds majority can it become law. This veto power is a key check by the Executive against legislation from the Legislative branch. The term “override” refers to Congress’s ability to pass a bill despite a veto, not the President’s ability to reject in the first place. “Rejection” and “Suspension” aren’t formal powers used to reject laws.
