How does the General Assembly check the power of the governor?

Electing the governor
Overriding vetoes
Approving budget proposals
Issuing executive orders

The correct answer is: Overriding vetoes

The General Assembly checks the power of the governor by providing checks and balances. This ensures that no one branch of government has too much power. A, Electing the governor, is incorrect because the General Assembly does not directly elect the governor. This is done through the gubernatorial election process. C, Approving budget proposals, is also incorrect as this does not directly check the power of the governor. D, Issuing executive orders, is incorrect as this is a power held by the governor and not the General Assembly. B, Overriding vetoes, is the correct answer as this gives the General Assembly the power to overturn a governor's veto and pass legislation without the governor's approval. This serves as a way to limit the power of the governor and maintain balance within the government.
