Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Based on the same reasoning in INS v. Chadha, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Congress could not bypass the bicameralism requirement (both the House and Senate must pass laws) with the line item veto. The Court took a strict adherence to the doctrine of separation of powers.
