veto
- veto
-
A qualified right of a governor of a state to prevent an enactment of the legislature from becoming law. 49 Am J1st States § 47. The refusal of the executive to approve a bill passed by the legisla tive body, having the effect of nullifying such legis lative action unless the bill is passed by the requisite number of votes upon reconsideration by the legislative body after such disapproval by the executive. 50 Am J1st Stat § 111.
The disapproval by the President of the United States of a bill after it has passed both houses of Congress, or by the governor of a state of the Union after the bill has passed both houses of the state legislature. The veto is essentially a legislative act. The fact that the President or the governor is limited to negation or concurrence, and cannot affirmatively initiate or amend legislation, does not take away the legislative character of his act, any more than want of power in the Senate of the United States to originate revenue bills changes its character as a co-ordinate branch of Congress. Commonwealth ex rel. Elkin v Barnett, 199 Pa 161, 48 A 976.
