mi civics and government - s1 / module 4 / lesson 60

1. which of the following is not a reason to hold a joint session of congress?

○ to count electoral votes of a presidential election
○ to debate a bill about military spending
○ to hear a visiting dignitary speak
○ to listen to the state of the union address

Explanation:

• Joint sessions of Congress are held for specific purposes like counting electoral votes (presidential election), hearing dignitaries, or the State of the Union Address.
• Debating a bill (like military spending) typically occurs in separate chambers (House or Senate) or in committee, not in a joint session. So debating a military spending bill is not a reason for a joint session.

Answer:

to debate a bill about military spending
