The correct answer is override a presidential veto.
In the US government, Congress is responsible for making national laws. After the bill has passed both houses of Congress (aka the House of Representatives and the Senate), the bill is then sent to the president to sign. However, the president can stop this bill from becoming law. This is known as a veto. If a president vetoes a law, it can still be passed without their signature. This requires a 2/3rd majority vote in both parts of Congress. If this happens, the bill becomes law.

<u> B. In an authoritarian government, the leaders of the government have absolute power.</u>
An authoritarian government is marked by the concentration of power in a small elite or leaders that exercise power arbitrarily, without limits, and without taking account on any body of law or existing Constitution, usually disrespecting people's right of having fair elections, freedom to express, among others. In opposition to this, in a constitutional government, the leaders' powers are limited. And these leaders are elected, kept in power and limited according to the laws of a given nation or area.
