Explanation:

Both statements are correct.
When a state bill is reserved by the governor for the consideration of the President, the President has three alternatives:
(a) He may give his assent to the bill; the bill then becomes an act.
(b) He may withhold his assent to the bill, the bill then ends and does not become an act.
(c) He may return the bill for reconsideration of the House or Houses of the state legislature.
When a bill is so returned, the House or Houses have to reconsider it within six months. If the bill is passed by the House or Houses again with or without amendments and presented to the president for his assent, the president is not bound to give his assent to the bill. He may give his assent to such a bill or withhold his assent.
