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
