582 MARYLAND MANUAL [Art. 2
SEC. 16. The Governor shall convene the Legislature, or
the Senate alone, on extraordinary occasions; and when-
ever from the presence of an enemy, or from any other
cause, the Seat of Government shall become an unsafe place
for the meeting of the Legislature, he may direct their
sessions to be held at some other convenient place.
1 SEC. 17. To guard against hasty or partial legislation
and encroachments of the Legislative Department upon the
coordinate Executive and Judicial Departments, every Bill
which shall have passed the House of Delegates, and the
Senate shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the
Governor of the State; if he approves he shall sign it, but if
not he shall return it with his objections to the House in
which it originated, which House shall enter the objections
at large on its Journal and proceed to reconsider the Bill; if,
after such reconsideration, three-fifths of the members
elected to that House shall pass the Bill, it shall be sent with
the objections to the other House, by which it shall likewise
be reconsidered, and if it pass by three-fifths of the members
elected to that House it shall become a law; but in all such
cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas
and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and
against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each
House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the
Governor within six days (Sundays excepted), after it shall
have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like
manner as if he signed it, unless the General Assembly
shall, by adjournment, prevent its return, in which case
it shall not be a law.
Any bill which is vetoed by the Governor following the
adjournment of the General Assembly, or any bill which
fails to become a law by reason of not having been signed
by the Governor following the adjournment of the General
Assembly, shall be returned to the House in which it
originated, immediately after said House shall have or-
ganized at the next regular or special session of the General
Assembly. Said bill may then be reconsidered according to
the procedure specified hereinabove. If the bill is passed over
the veto of the Governor, it shall take effect on June I
following, unless the bill is an emergency measure to take
effect when passed. No such vetoed bill shall be returned to
the Legislature when a new General Assembly of Maryland
has been elected and sworn since the passage of the vetoed
bill.
The Governor shall have power to disapprove of any item
or items of any Bills making appropriations of money em-
' Thus 'amended by Chapter 664, Acts of 1959, ratified November 8, 1960.
