Question

Congress has just passed the Environment Act, and sent it to the desk of the President. After reviewing the Act, the President signs it, which makes the Environment Act a law.
Which is the President’s role in this scenario?
a. Commander-in-Chief
b. Chief Legislator
c. Chief Executive
d. Economic Planner

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Chief Legislator.

Explanation:

An act is first passed in the Congress to make it to the desk of the President. After it is passed by Congress, the act reaches the President's office to be signed into law.

In this case, as given in the question, the Environment Act that Congress passed is sent to the President's desk. After reviewing the act, if the President signs the bill, it becomes a law. And in the process of signing the act into law, the President is acting as the Chief Legislator of the law.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
