Practice question

- A worthwhile purpose alone satisfies every funding condition.
- The bill lacks either funding support alternative required by Article VI, Section 25(4).
- Private approval automatically becomes the National Treasurer’s certification.
- All special appropriations are categorically prohibited.
- Only the number of pages determines compliance.
