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

Appointing members
Vetoing legislation
Calling for elections
Overriding vetoes

The correct answer is: Vetoing legislation

The governor checks the power of the General Assembly through vetoing legislation. This means that he or she can reject a bill that has been passed by the General Assembly, preventing it from becoming a law. This power ensures that the governor has a say in the legislative process and can prevent any laws that he or she does not agree with from being passed. Option A is incorrect because the governor does not have the authority to appoint members of the General Assembly. These members are elected by the people. Option C is incorrect because while the governor can call for special elections in certain situations, it is not a means of checking the power of the General Assembly. Option D is incorrect because overriding a veto requires a 2/3 majority vote in both chambers of the General Assembly, meaning that the legislators have the power to override the governor's veto if they choose to do so. This option does not check the power of the General Assembly, but rather highlights its strength.
