Who has the power to declare a federal law unconstitutional in the United States?

President.
Supreme Court.
Congress.
State governors.

The correct answer is: Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has the power to declare a federal law unconstitutional in the United States. This is because the Judicial Branch of government, which includes the Supreme Court, is responsible for interpreting the Constitution and determining the constitutionality of laws. The President, Congress, and state governors do not have this specific power, although they may have other powers related to making and enforcing federal laws. Choosing options A, C, or D is incorrect because these branches or individuals are not recognized as having the authority to declare laws unconstitutional.
