Who vetoes bills?

The President.

  1. The Supreme Court
  2. The President ✔
  3. The Speaker of the House

Why: A veto is when the President rejects a bill passed by Congress. Courts can strike down laws later, but that is not a veto.

Huh, didn't know that: Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate.

The dad joke
Why did the bill come back home so soon? It got vetoed and needed a hug.
