Terms Used In Missouri Laws 77.280
- 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 also have the power to veto any resolution or order of the council which calls for or contemplates the expenditure of the revenues of the city. Such vetoes shall be noted on the journal of the council, and shall be effective and binding unless the council, at a subsequent session thereof, general or special, shall pass said resolution or order by a vote of three-fourths of all the members elected to the council.
