Practice question
The President announces objections to a bill only at a press conference and never communicates a veto to the House of origin within thirty days of receipt. No approval is signed. Does the press conference alone satisfy Section 27(1)’s specified communication?
- Yes, any public criticism is necessarily the required return.
- No; the Constitution requires communication of the veto to the House of origin within the period.
- Yes, if the speech is lengthy.
- Yes, if television ratings are high.
- No, because the President is forbidden to express objections publicly.
