Thursday-5/02/19:

• Bell Work-1.) In your own words attempt to explain why you believe it is so rare for Congress to actually choose to override a Presidential veto? 2.) In your opinion what do you think may be a credible motive for Congress to override a Presidential veto? 3.) If we consider the fact that Andrew Johnson had roughly fifty percent (15 of 29) of his vetoes overridden by Congress we can see that the relationship between the Legislative and Executive branches can often become extremely tense. Imagine that you were Andrew Johnson, how would you have handled such a combative Congress in order to reduce the amount of veto overrides issued during your Presidency?
