Sally agrees to roof a house for Bob. After doing his research, Bob chooses Sally based on her great reputation for being consci

entious and doing good work. Bob knows little about roofing and stays away from all the noise involved. Sally provides her own tools for herself and other workers, sets her own schedule, and charges a flat rate of $10,000 to be paid when the job is completed. Sally hires Trudy, Glen, and Fred to help with the roofing. She pays them an hourly rate, supervises their work, provides them with tools and materials, and sets their schedules. Curious about what is going on there, Bob's friend Spencer walks by the house while the roofing is being done. Glen absentmindedly throws some old shingles off the roof and hits Spencer in the head, resulting in him going to the local emergency room and receiving a couple of stitches in his scalp. Spencer decides to sue all the roofers, Bob, and Sally for his hospital expenses and for pain and suffering. Assuming Glen was negligent, which of the following is the most likely result in a lawsuit against Sally brought by Spencer?
a. Spencer will win because Glen was acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is liable for his negligence.
b. Spencer will lose because Glen was not acting within the scope of his employment; therefore, Sally is not liable for his negligence.
c. Spencer will win because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally is liable for his negligence.
d. Spencer will lose because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally has no liability. Spencer and Sally will split the damages equally.

Where in the constitution is the veto power described
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

In Article II, Section 7.

Explanation:

The veto power refers to the presidential power to disapprove the passing of a bill, order or joint resolution made and voted on by Congress; the US Constitution describes such authority in Article II, Section 7.

Part of the section explains that every bill, order or resolution that the House of Representatives and the Senate make has to be presented to the President before it becomes law. Once the bill is in his or her office, the President can do one of the three following actions: to sign the bill, thereby making it a law, to veto the bill, in such case, the bill has to return to Congress which has the power to override the Presidential veto only if the bill is voted on by two-thirds of each house, or to leave it unsigned and do nothing about the bill, in such case within ten days (Sundays excepted), the bill will immediately become a law.
