Question 37 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2019 • GOVERNMENT • objective

In a parliamentary system with 200 members, a bill requires a simple majority of members present to pass. The President may veto the bill, but a veto can be overridden by a two‑thirds majority of the total membership. During the first vote, 120 members vote for the bill, 30 vote against it and 50 abstain. The President vetoes the bill. Can the veto be overridden based on the votes already cast?

Answer Options

A. No, because the two‑thirds majority must be calculated from the members present, not the total membership.
B. Yes, because the 120 votes in favour exceed the two‑thirds threshold of members present.
C. No, because the veto can only be overridden with at least 140 votes in favour.
Correct Answer D. No, because only 120 votes are in favour and at least 134 are required to override the veto.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
No, because only 120 votes are in favour and at least 134 are required to override the veto.
