The legislature passes an appropriation bill that includes some spending items the governor likes and some that he doesn’t like.  Can the governor veto the items he doesn’t like while signing the rest into law?

This has been a very controversial question, because some states have the line item veto, and the US President had it for a few years but it was allowed to lapse.\n\nThe main points of controversy are:\n\n1-Spending the taxpayers' money is under the responsibility of the legislative branch, and the legislative does not have the right to give its powers to another branch, at least without some sort of oversight.\n\n2-The executive is still a party politician, and the ability to strike out specific programs is definitely a weapon that can be used against individual legislators or individual states or localities.

First, a bill must pass both houses of Congress by a majority vote. After it has passed out of Congress, it is sent along to the President. If the President signs the bill, it becomes law.\n\nThe President might not sign the bill, however. If he specifically rejects the bill, called a veto, the bill returns to Congress. There it is voted on again, and if both houses of Congress pass the bill again, but this time by a two-thirds majority, then the bill becomes law without the President's signature. This is called "overriding a veto," and is difficult to do because of the two-thirds majority requirement.\n\nAlternately, the President can sit on the bill, taking no action on it at all. If the President takes no action at all, and ten days passes (not including Sundays), the bill becomes law without the President's signature. However, if the Congress has adjourned before the ten days passes and without a Presidential signature, the bill fails. This is known as a pocket veto.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe process laid out in the Constitution is relatively complicated when it comes to vetoes, but pretty simple when it comes to approving a bill. But in reality, there is a lot more to law making than these steps spelled out in a clause of the Constitution.

Yes, it could still become law if both 2/3 of the House of Represntatives and the Senate both voted to override the veto.

If it's a spending bill he won't veto.  Bush thinks money grows on trees.

2 terms. No exceptions. The 22nd Amendment states this law.

Cliffs Notes???  LOL!\n\nOne house proposes legislation and votes on it.  If it is passed, then it goes to the other house to be voted on.  If it passes there too, the president will sign or veto it.

NOT SILIBUSTER\n\nFILIBUSTER...it was just in the news not too long ago. \n\nCongress tries to hold up a process in opposion to a bill so it does not pass or will be signed into law. \n\nSomething like it. Check under Filibuster.

Nobody likes a tax increase. However, people also want their governments to operate. I think citizens have to get informed, first. Second, try and not approach it from either ideological pole, and see if the government has explored all its options for bringing the budget into line.\n\nIf the governor looks to be stuck, with no other way out, than perhaps people should rally behind him and let it happen - deficits will only add up and make for a bigger bill later.\n\nOn the other hand, if the governor is just relying on the tax increase because he has not been creative enough to come up with any other solution, then he should not get a pass from the people.

To override a veto from president senate AND house must both vote 2/3. So many republicans would have to side with democrats to override.\n\nGo to site and read\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veto_override\n\n\nUGH..\n\n.

No - most states do not allow for the recall of a governor; Indiana (and Ohio, I don't know what the earlier poster was talking about) do not allow for recall.

Parliament proposes the bill.\nThe elected representatives vote on it.\nEl Presidente decides if it should become law or not.

Anyone appointed to office and approved by the Senate stays.\n\nBolton was not approved by the Senate. He serves as a recess appointment.

Do a search for state representative and your state name.  Do the same for state senator.  Your state legislature will have a website.  If you know the title or the number of the bill, you can search for it.  It will identify the sponsors of the bill and the chairperson of the committee that will review the bill.  Contact the sponsors and the chairperson of the committee that will do the inital review of the bill.\n\nOnce you have identified the sponsors and the committee chair, have all your friends write, email, call them regularly to stop the bill from becoming law.\n\nGood luck!

The agency gets its power by a delegation of authority from the legislature.  If the legislature doesn't agree with the rules being adopted or the policing of those rules they can strip the authority with additional legislation.  They can even disband the agency if they want to.  It's a game of hard ball though, and not easily carried out.
