Remove the cotter pin to retorque a loose front wheel bearing on a rear-drive car. Total radial runout at the tire tread should be no more than .050 to .060 in. If radial or lateral runout is high, check both runouts at the hub to rule out a bent rim.
Congress For Dummies. After Congress passes a bill, it doesnât become law without the presidentâs signature, and if he vetoes it, it may not be enacted at all (although Congress has the option of overriding the veto). Thus, the president is an immensely powerful presence throughout the legislative process despite his small constitutional role.
A bill becomes law if the president signs it. The president doesn't always wish to sign the bill. He may choose to say no by vetoing it. If this happens, the bill is sent back to Congress. If two-thirds of all the members of Congress vote yes, the bill can still become law. The bill dies when there are not enough votes to override the President. For example, when George Bush was president, Congress tried to override his vetoes thirty-six times but was successful only once. Sometimes a president decides to do nothing. He may decide neither to sign nor veto a bill. If Congress is in session, the bill becomes law after ten days without the president's signature. Otherwise, the bill suffers a pocket veto and does not become law.
