Veto

by the Constitution, presidents have the power to veto congressional enactments. For the purpose of checks and balances, the final step to passing a law lies in presidential approval, in which the president may sign the bill into law or veto it. The president returns the veto with no signature to Congress. In a pocket veto, Congress meets within ten days after and gains no action from the president regarding the piece of legislation. However, a veto may be overridden by a two-thirds majority…

States, at the time, can “return it” without any objections. To understand further how the veto from the president works, it starts with the latin translation of the word which is “I forbid” adding to the serious tone of the president potentially “taking down” a bill that could have been potentially passed by him, with the majority of vetoes being successfully overridden. However, about four percent of vetos, according to the Saylor text, have been successfully overridden in part by…

a) Should the president of the United States threaten a veto with his executive power, the congress must meet compromises, negotiations, and sometimes consult the president in order to make the right decision. Should the executive power to veto not exist the congressional decision making of laws, bills, etc…would not be made as carefully considering they need to fit the president’s views. The power to issue executive orders is looked upon within the Congress, and before proposing the law, bill,…

the United States and then sent it back to Congress with his suggestions. Congress and Jackson’s cabinet were astounded to hear of his veto! It took a week after it had been passed by congress to retrieve the yes or no go call from Jackson. Congress and the majority of Jackson’s cabinet actually favored the recharter. He decided to present his reasoning of the veto in a lengthy message and this message came to be one of the most important state papers of his presidency. Although Jackson knew…

power to override the president's veto. It takes a long process for the Congress vote and override a veto. Both, the House of Representatives and Senate, has to separately vote in favor of the veto override. The first president to have his veto overriden was John Tyler. One of the biggest veto overrides was during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. The last veto override to happen so far was with President George Bush. Many people feel that Congress should not have his veto overridden in cases that the…

The power to veto makes the governor awfully powerful in the legislative game. The veto is a negative power in which the governor can say "no" to a piece of legislation when it comes to his desk for passage. Two kinds of vetoes exist for the governor's utilization. A regular veto says no to the entire bill. The other kind of veto available to governors, and not the President of the United States, is the line-item veto. The line-item veto gives the governor the ability to remove part of a piece…

position that doesn’t suit its proper interests, it will simply deny it by resorting to its superpower: the veto. The 2015 Security Council (SC) report states that the veto power is constituted…

very clear from the on set that the five nations on the UN Security Council who had the authority to vote on and veto resolutions held the most power and leverage over the simulation . Therefore, as a representative of Russia in the simulation I found myself with the power to significantly impact the resolutions discussed through the power of the veto. As a result, one would argue that veto power is one of the most significant underrated powers in the world today and countries who have own such…

As one of the two proposals that still stand today, the some members of the G4 face challenges that they are criticised for by the Security Council. The West is in favour of the G4 proposal, one of the reasons being their decision not to choose the veto. Moreover, Germany and Japan are one of the best candidates as both countries contribute the most towards the United Nations budget coming after the United States. Not only to they pay their membership fee on time but they have never used any…

reality of the line item veto and legislative veto. Some argue these are constitutional, due to the complexities within each branch and the public's role in electing these. I disagree and support the rulings the Supreme Court made in maintaining the separation of power created by our framers, ensuring the balance of power among branches essential to American democracy. Clinton v. City of New York Clinton v. City of New York is a Supreme Court case that focused on the line item veto…
