Here's what will happen if the President does not return a bill and refuses to sign it:

- It means the President is effectively exercising their veto power.

- Yet, unless the Congress isn't in session during those ten (10) days, the bill will automatically become a law, though.

- The U.S. Constitution states that a vetoed bill may still become law if Congress overrides the president's decision with a supermajority vote of two-thirds of members of both the House and the Senate.

What is this veto power anyway?

To veto means to forbid or temporarily prohibit the execution of projects that have been attempted. However, since we're discussing the President's and the legislative branch's authority, vetoing refers to stopping a bill or the implementation of legislation passed by a legislature from becoming law, either permanently or temporarily.

<h3>Can a state override a federal law?</h3>

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution is Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution.

The Supremacy Clause means that the federal constitution and laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.

<h3>Answer Options:</h3>

A. Nevada doesn’t have the authority to override federal law. Federal law stands supreme. Yet, the force of widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law. We also saw this effect during Prohibition in the 1920s – which showed that even constitutional law has limits if a substantial part of the population does not support that law.

B. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has the statutory authority to allow exceptions to federal drug laws.

C. States have precedence over federal authorities on matters of recreational drug use.

D. The executive authority of the governor of Nevada makes such laws exceptions to federal prohibitions. By virtue of signing the legislation making marijuana legal, Governor Brian Sandoval’s executive authority gave pot’s legal possession precedence over federal law.

Thus, the basis on which Nevada had the authority to <u>override a federal law</u> is <u>Option A</u>. ... widespread public acceptance and general use of marijuana has made it difficult to enforce federal law.
