Question

What can happen to the government if the president doesn’t accept Congress’s amended budget?

A It is illegal for the government not to accept the amended budget.

B The federal government can theoretically shut down.

C The state governors vote.

D The Supreme Court decides if it should be accepted

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be B. If the President does not accept the Congress' amended budget, then the federal government can theoretically shut down. It would not literally be the government would shut down but it is the agencies that are affected by not receiving funding through the appropriation process that should shut down.
