I am a bit rusty on state polotics, if he vetos it goes back to the Seante and they have to re-pass by a 2/3 majority, right? You would think I would remeber this stuff from having to learn it all from the Wilmette Law but my memory is bad. The only two things I can remeber to do is buy new "assault weapons" and write my legistlators to protect my rights!

When a governor issues an amendatory veto, the legislature must decide whether to concur with the changes or to override them. Concurring with an amendatory veto requires a simple majority in both chambers, while overriding an amendatory veto takes a three-fifths vote in both chambers. If the legislature fails to concur with the veto or override it, the bill dies and does not become law. |
