Terms Used In Alabama Code 45-2A-30.02
- Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
The affirmative vote of five of the seven council persons shall be required to override the veto vote of the mayor, the adoption of all ordinances and resolutions of a permanent nature, the approval of expenditures for the relocation or construction of city offices, complexes, civic centers, jails, fire stations, parks, and recreational facilities, the approval of street and road expenditures that are not budgeted annually on a pro rata mileage basis to council districts and the approval of surface water drainage expenditures that are not budgeted annually on a pro rata acreage basis to council districts.
