According to the constitution, a bill becomes law after (i) a simple majority in the lower house (at least 51\% of members), (ii) a two‑thirds majority in the upper house, and (iii) presidential assent. The lower house has 200 members and the upper house 100 members. A proposed law receives 108 affirmative votes in the lower house and 68 in the upper house, and the president vetoes it. The constitution allows an override if, on a second vote, both houses achieve a three‑quarter majority. In the second vote the lower house gains 5 additional affirmative votes and the upper house gains 8. Will the law be enacted after the second vote?

Answer Options

A. No; the upper house did not reach the required three‑quarter majority, so the law is not enacted.
Correct Answer B. No; the lower house did not reach the required three‑quarter majority, so the law is not enacted.
C. Yes; the presidential veto can be overridden by a simple majority in each house, so the law is enacted.
D. Yes; both houses achieved the required three‑quarter majority after the second vote, so the law is enacted.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
No; the lower house did not reach the required three‑quarter majority, so the law is not enacted.
