Concept:A presidential veto may be overridden by the legislature with a special two-thirds majority.
Explanation:In a presidential system of government, the President usually signs bills into law.
When the President refuses to give assent, the bill does not automatically die.
This refusal is known as a veto.
Many constitutions, including Nigeria's, allow the legislature to override that veto.
The lawmakers must re-pass the bill with a
32 (two-thirds) majority.
This majority is calculated based on the total number of members of the legislature.
Once the bill is re-passed by a
32 majority, it becomes law without presidential assent.
This provision prevents the executive from exercising an absolute veto over legislation.
It also strengthens the principle of checks and balances between the executive and the legislature.
Answer:The legislature can pass a bill into law with the votes of a two-third majority, so the correct option is B.
