Question

which statement describes an example of a limit on the power of the house of representatives?
the president can veto its bills.
the senate can oppose its bills.
the house can propose only revenue bills.
the house cannot propose revenue bills.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The president vetoing House bills is a check on the House's legislative power, as the president can reject bills passed by the House, limiting its ability to enact legislation unilaterally.
• Option 2: The Senate opposing House bills is part of inter - chamber dynamics, but "oppose" is a broad term and not a clear - cut limit like a veto or constitutional restriction on the types of bills.
• Option 3: The House is actually constitutionally allowed to propose revenue bills (and other types too), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The House can propose revenue bills, so this is factually wrong.

So the president's veto power over House - passed bills is a clear limit on the House's power.

Answer:

A. The president can veto its bills.
