Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 15-1502

  • 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.

The mayor shall sign all ordinances passed by the board of commissioners, and shall have the right to vote as a member of said board on all questions which may arise, but the mayor shall have no veto power.
