Practice question
The President vetoes an ordinary bill. Two-thirds of all House members vote to override, but only a simple majority of all senators does so. Has Congress overridden the veto?
- Yes, because the House vote controls revenue and nonrevenue bills alike
- Yes, because the combined votes of both Houses exceed two-thirds
- No, because the Senate must also reach two-thirds of all its members
- No, because every presidential veto requires a plebiscite
- Yes, because a Senate majority is sufficient after a House supermajority
