Semmy [17]3 years ago
6 0
The 70s and 80s saw the United States go through several incidents which shook the foundation of the Federal Government.

The unpopular Vietnam war had dragged on despite, hundreds of protests all over the country. By all accounts, the United States eventually lost the war and suffered numerous losses.

In between, the American government suffered from an Oil shortage due to OPEC embargo, raising the prices of fuel and bringing the country to a standstill.

The early end of the 70s saw the Iranian revolution take place, which overthrew the American backed Dictator, Reza Shah and the country entered the 80s with a crippling economic downturn.

zepelin [54]

The correct answer is: the president's decision can be overridden by a majority of Congress.

A veto ( from Latin <em>I forbid</em> ) is the power to officially stop an enactment of legislation.

In the United States, every bill, order, act or resolution approved by Congress must be presented to the President for their approval.

The President has 10 days to sign the bill. If he refuses to sign it, he returns it to the Congress with a statement of objection. <em>This is his veto.</em>

Congress considers the objection. Each House may vote to override the President's veto. <em>If 2/3 of each House agree to override it, the bill becomes law.</em>
