The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 401 - International Trade Agreement - Procurement Rules -
General Assembly Approval. I believe that the legislation exceeds the General
Assembly's constitutional power to the extent that it purports to invalidate the effect
of past legal actions of an executive branch official. Furthermore, this legislation
makes a mockery of the three distinct branches of government. The provisions of this
legislation also clearly encroach on executive branch prerogatives.
