Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Exp) Option a is the correct answer.
Suspensive Veto means the power of the President to return a bill for reconsideration of the Parliament.
Statement 1 is correct: When the bill is sent back to the parliament by the President and if the same is passed again by Parliament, with or without changes, and presented again to the President, the President is required to grant his assent to the bill. Hence is such case the President cannot use the suspensive veto.
Statement 2 is correct: In the case of money bills, the President does not have a suspensive veto. The President may either grant or withhold his approval to a money measure, but he may not return it to Parliament for reconsideration.
Statement 3 is correct: The president does have any power to use suspensive veto in case of “the constitutional amendment bills”.
Statement 4 is incorrect: The President enjoys the suspensive veto with respect to the state if the bill is passed again by the state legislature with or without amendments and presented again to the President for his assent, the President is not bound to give his assent to the bill. This means that the state legislature cannot override the suspensive veto power of the President.
