Neco Model Questions Vol1 2020 Government Question 18
Practice objective / multiple choice question 18 from the 2020 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Government examination.
A constitution requires a constitutional amendment to be approved by at least two‑thirds of each chamber of Parliament and then receive presidential assent. If the president refuses assent, the amendment can still become law if a joint session of both chambers passes it with a three‑quarters majority of the total members. Parliament consists of a Senate with 80 members and a House of Representatives with 200 members. Currently, 55\% of Senators and 60\% of House members support the amendment. Will the amendment pass without presidential assent? If not, how many additional members must change their vote to reach the joint‑session override threshold?
