A bill titled the National Health Security Act has been duly passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The President vetoes the bill, returning it with objections. On reconsideration, the Senate votes 15-9 to override, and the House votes 199-86 to override. Under the 1987 Constitution, is the bill enacted into law? Explain (a) the controlling rule on Presidential veto and how a veto may be overridden, (b) whether the two-thirds vote requirements are satisfied in each House, and (c) the effect on the bill if both Houses successfully override the veto.

Choose the Best Answer

Not enacted; overriding a veto requires two-thirds in both Houses; since one House did not reach two-thirds, the veto remains. Not enacted; the bill would only become law if the President signs it after an override, which did not occur here. Enacted; the two-thirds requirement is calculated based on the number of votes cast, not the total membership, so 15-9 and 199-86 may still be enough. Not enacted into law; override failed in the Senate (the Senate did not reach the required two-thirds; 15-9 is short of 16), so the President's veto stands.
