  • Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
(b) It is hereby declared that the provisions of the charters of the cities in reference to the passage of ordinances shall not be applicable to the action of the bodies in levying such assessments, except that such levy or assessment shall be approved by the mayor, and in the event the mayor refuses to approve or vetoes the levies or assessments, which the mayor shall do as a whole, such levies or assessments shall be passed over the mayor’s veto in like manner as ordinances or resolutions are passed over such vetoes.
