Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 70 ILCS 2205/10

  • Remainder: An interest in property that takes effect in the future at a specified time or after the occurrence of some event, such as the death of a life tenant.
  • 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.
     All ordinances, orders, rules, resolutions and regulations shall before taking effect, be passed upon by the president of the board of trustees. Such as he shall approve, he shall sign, and such as he shall not approve, he shall return to the board of trustees, with his objections thereto in writing, at its next regular meeting after the passage thereof. The president’s veto may extend to any one or more items or appropriations contained in any ordinance, or to the entire ordinance; and in case the veto only extends to a part of such ordinance, the remainder shall take effect and be in force; with his objections thereto by the time aforesaid, he shall be deemed to have approved the same, but in case the president shall fail to return any ordinance, order, rule, resolution or regulation and such ordinance shall take effect accordingly. Upon the return of any unapproved ordinance, order, rule, resolution or regulation, the vote by which the same was passed shall be reconsidered by the board of trustees, and if upon such reconsideration, two-thirds of all the members elect shall agree by yeas and nays to pass the same, it shall go into effect, notwithstanding the president’s refusal to approve thereof.
