part vii: evidence of learning
how do the founding principles of check and balances and separation of powers apply to the structure and non - legislative of congress?

Explanation:

The process of a bill becoming a law involves multiple steps with different branches having roles. The House of Representatives and Senate debate and vote on the bill. The President can sign or veto it. Checks - and - balances are seen in the ability of the President to veto legislation (limiting Congress's power) and Congress's potential to override a veto (limiting the President's power). Also, the separation of powers is evident as different branches (legislative - Congress, executive - President) have distinct but inter - related roles in the legislative process.

Answer:

1. The President can veto a bill passed by Congress, limiting Congress's legislative power.
2. Congress can override a presidential veto with a two - thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, limiting the President's power over legislation.
