Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are a couple of things that can occur:

1)The bill would be struck down by votes in either the House of Representative (HR) or in the Senate (S).

- If the bill does not garner enough support or votes, the vote will die in the the corresponding house.

2) The bill will be veto and/or line veto by the President.

- The bill would be automatically vetoed, which would be returned to both houses to be passed if they get 2/3 votes in each congress. Line veto can be used when they pass the bill but WOULD NOT enforce PARTS of the law.

3) Law is declared Unconstitutional.

- The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, can void the law and declare the law unconstitutional.

4) Popular Opinion: On certain occasions, Citizens of the US can try Direct Democracy, in which if they gather enough signatures or supporters, they can force the government to reconsider their choice.
