Issac Jensen · Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

When a bill is introduced in the congress, it must simply get a simple majority vote from both the House of the Representatives and the Senate in order for it to become a law.

In case if the President issues a veto on any particular bill, the Congress can re-introduce the bill and secure two-third majority of votes in both the houses so as to override the bill. Once the bill secures two-third majority in both the houses, the Congress can pass the bill as a law even without the President's signature.

Thus, unless the President vetoes a bill, it can be passed simply by getting a simple majority vote from both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
