Question

If the president lets a bill sit for days while Congress is in session, it automatically becomes law. A) True B) False

Answer 1

B falce

Step-by-step explanation:

B) False

In the United States, if the President does not sign a bill into law within a certain period while Congress is in session, the bill does not automatically become law. Instead, it goes through a process called a "pocket veto." The President has the option to not sign (veto) the bill, and if Congress adjourns or goes into recess within ten days (excluding Sundays) after the bill is presented to the President and the President takes no action, the bill does not become law. This is different from the situation when Congress adjourns "sine die" (without setting a specific date to reconvene), in which case, the bill does not become law.
