<h3>Answer: D) Overriding a veto</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

When both houses of Congress agree on a law, they send the final bill to the President for it to be signed into law. If the President doesn't agree, then s/he has the option to veto the bill. After this point, the Congress has the option to override the veto if 2/3 of both houses agree to override.

This means that:

  • At least 67 Senators must agree to the override (note how 2/3 of 100 is 66.67 approximately, so 67 is the smallest number that clears this threshold)
  • At least 290 House of Representative members must agree to the override. This figure is due to (2/3)*435 = 290. There are currently 435 house members.

Both of those conditions listed above must be met for a veto override to occur. This is extremely difficult and rare considering the polarizing political climate. On things that nearly everyone agrees about, the President would likely not veto the bill (since the President is likely to agree with the Congress on such issues), and a veto override wouldn't even need to be considered.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The thing is, back then it wasn't actually a federal government, which is why it failed. It was a confederal government, which means the states have more power over the government, therefore meaning that the government could not truly enforce anything.

Compare the arguments for and against us imperialism. be sure to consider the views of josiah strong and emilio aguinaldo.
Oksana_A [137]
Josiah Strong was an American who believed in the 'moral superiority' of the Anglo-Saxon race and that it had a duty to teach the so-called 'inferior' peoples of other lands how to live and that the US should expand its sphere of influence across the world. On the other hand Emilio Aguinaldo of the Philippines fought against the Spaniards alongside the US to rid his country of the Spanish colonialists but then had to organize the Philippine people against the US which tried to take over from Spain, and he  used the same logic as the original American revolutionaries who fought against British colonialism. Personally, I think US imperialism is bad because it seeks to control other sovereign countries like Cuba and Venezuela and refuses to recognize their territorial integrity and right to govern their countries as their people see fit. It just wants governments that cater to their economic plunder and that ignore the needs of the majority of their people but couches it in "respect for human rights" etc which basically means only the so-called human rights of the exploiters of the countries ie the right to make maximum profits at the expense of the vast majority of the people.
