Yes. But I might be willing to argue for
|
|
2
|
even a 2/3 vote, thereby making it less likely that the
|
|
3
|
Legislature could overrule the Governor's responsibility
|
|
4
|
for seeing to it that wise and necessary legislation was
|
|
5
|
enacted.
|
|
6
|
Does the six-day period give the Governor
|
|
7
|
sufficient time to consider whether or not to veto a bill?
|
|
8
|
I am sure that six days is certainly not suf-
|
|
9
|
ficient time for studying and checking many pieces of
|
|
10
|
legislation before Executive action. While I don't suppose
|
|
11
|
a hard and fast rule can be laid down, ten to fourteen
|
|
12
|
days is more like the time ordinarily required for the
|
|
13
|
Governor to be apprised of all the facts. Why hurry the
|
|
14
|
process and deny the Governor a reasonable opportunity to
|
|
15
|
gain the facts?
|
|
16
|
The six-day period after the passage of a bill
|
|
17
|
is not sufficient time for a study and check.
|
|
18
|
Should the Governor's pocket veto be expanded
|
|
19
|
so that bills that die by veto or by being left unsigned
|
|
20
|
after the Legislature adjourns need not be returned at
|
|
21
|
the next session of the Legislature for possible override?
