Without presidential assent, the legislature can pass a bill into law with the votes of _____ majority

  1. one-third
  2. one-fifth
  3. two-third ✓
  4. absolute

Explanation

The legislature needs two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto. This high threshold ensures broad support for the law.

One-third and one-fifth are too low. Absolute (100%) is unnecessarily high.

The two-thirds requirement balances presidential power with legislative authority.
