A.

The House or Senate first need to propose a bill and get it passed by both branches. However, even though congress may have passed it - the President of the United States has veto rights. This means that he or she can reject the bill. This veto can only be overridden if a two-thirds vote is passed in both the Senate and House.

Felicity Benitez · Answer 2

The president proposes a bill and if the Senate approve and signs it the bill becomes a law.

Explanation:

If a bill has passed in both the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate and has been approved by the President, or if a presidential veto has been overridden, the bill becomes a law and is enforced by the government.
