able to override a veto? Do you like this whole concept
|
z
|
of the veto? Would you keep it? If so, would it be
|
3
|
three-fifths, larger or smaller?
|
4
|
SENATOR HUGHES: I would keep it, but I think
|
5
|
there should be some method of making this requirement
|
6
|
uniform for overriding the veto, for emergency matters.
|
7
|
for extending the rules. Some of it is two-thirds and
|
8
|
some three-fifths. I, think it should be uniform.

DELEGATE HANDEL: I would change the provision
|
10
|
if the Governor doesn't sign a bill in a certain period
|
11
|
of time, the bill is automatically vetoed, I think it
|
12
|
ought to be automatically law, if he doesn't sign it.
|
13
|
I think it should become law and not vetoed.
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: You eliminate the pocket veto?
|
15
|
DELEGATE HANDEL: Yes. I would say it becomes
|
16
|
law unless he vetoes it.
|
17
|
SENATOR JAMES: I'd give him thirty days after
|
18
|
the legislation, because the volume of legislation that
|
19
|
he's got on his desk is tremendous.
|
20
|
THE CHAIRMAN: You would give him thirty days?
|
21
|
DELEGATE HANDEL: At least.
